EGYPTs

New York. June ga dispatch to The
Tribune from Cairo. Egypt, says: THE
Egyptian government has instructed it's
authorities at Port Said to prevent the
$50 stockers engaged there by Admiral
Camara for his feet from em~barking on
Spanish ships, and has courteously In
formed Admiral Camara that so doing
would be an infringement of the laws of
neutrality, which Egypt intends rigor-
ously to observe. The Audasa's ma
chinery requires repair. and Camara has
eigniied his intention OF remaining at
Port Said for three days.

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.

Kingston, Jam. June 2s.-It is believed
that Admiral Cervera contemplated
making a dash out OF the harb9r satur-

seen at shutdown advancing towards the
mouth of the harbor, and two small
boats. believed to be torpedo boat de-
stroyers, were observed In the neighbor-

Admiral Sampson ordered extra precau-
tons to be TAKEN. The Ericsson and
Porter stood very close into the harbor

A bridal EnIhntie.


At q recent fashionable welding not a
thousand miles from Chicago some
very picturesque features prevailed
Bowers and flowery terraces decked the
grounds of the handsome residence of
The brides father, yachts with gay pen
nants flying were anchored at the foot
Of the garden, flower girls and chorus
girls led the way to the little neigh
borhood church, singing and strewlng
roses in the path Of the lovely bride,
and all was delightfully."- decorative as
high Chicago society art could make it.
Along the flower strewn way the bride
slowly advanced, carried on a sedan
chair by four stately bearers-her
brothers and cousins. These wore tall
silk hats, by the way. but that is mere
ly the usual touch of Chicago improve
ment on old French styles. At inter-
vals-it was warm September morn
in-the four bearers set down their
lovely burden-so the story goes-and
mopped the moist brows under the tall
silk hats. On they moved until again
warm and weary. Finally-it is told

Wherever plenty of water is there
electric light, heat and power can be
generated, whether there be any great
quantity of coal or other fuel or not.
A waterfall will turn machinery any
where, and the machinery will run a
dynamo. This use of water power is
now extensively made in Central and
South America and Mexico, likewise
in some of our southern states. In
Alaska and on the land route to the
goldhelds the rapids of the great
Yukon and its tributaries might
speedily be utilized to run electric
cars and supply power and light as
we'll as heat. 1t is much to know
that wherever water flow is there
man has the means of lighting and
warming himself and running cars,
mills and factories.

Albert and Charles Huber, living a
few miles south of Durand, Wis, have
a herd of about twenty-five full-blooded
bison and some eighteen crossed bulls
and heifers, bison and native COW.
About six years ago they were hunting
in the western part of North Dakota
and succeeded in capturing alive three
young bison, a bull and two cows, and
these they brought to hheir farm here.
The animals grew and thrived amaz-
ingly, and are pastured in an enclosure
of about 400 acres, running down to the
Valley or Rose Creek, where they have
ample room and shelter. Experiments
were early made with crossed breeds.
and it has now been found that the
cross is very successful, the half-breed
combining the docility Of the domestic
animals with the endurance and large
size of the bison. They are also very
fine fur producers, and grow to matur-
ity in less time than domestic cattle:
The flesh Of the crossed animals Is very
palatable, and the fur has all the good
qualities of that of the bison, and is
gofter and more silky. The cross
-bloods can also stand far more expos
,ure in winter than can the native COW.

The recent opening of valuable
mines in the west and northwest will
give a stimulus to industrial enter
prises generally in the country and
relieve the gorge of money in the
older cities. Profitable investments
will be found fn mining and manufac-
turing throughout the Rocky noun

Foreign Possibilities Affect Speculation.
But Activity in Industrial Production Con-
tinues Without Hindrance.
R. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly revie,

R. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review
of trade says
Foreign possibilities have much af-
fected speculation and caused hesita-
ton IN some large business opera
tions, possibly accounting in part for
check in the rapid advance of wheat.
but industrial production continues
larger than ever, few more works
being added to the active list with a
decrease in the number of hands on
strike and renewed evidence that the
volume Of business is larger in Febru-
airy than of any previous year.
Nor is there any symptom of a
senseless craze based on rising prices.
the legitimate export and domestic
demand presses closer to the capacity
of works, and though there is no
flighty advance in any line, and in ali
narrowness of profit is a matter of
complaint, new business for this dull
season is unprecedented.
Wheat continued its progress up
ward until $I,oS.75 was reached on
Monday, but declined sic later, as if
there were fear that Spain would
somehow stop British vessels from
taking wheat across the water. But
there is no abatement of foreign de-
mand. Atlantic exports were 1,o6S,-
SI4 bushels, flour included at wheat,
for the week, against I,3a6,444 last
year, and Pacific exports I,576,376,
against 1856, ,464 last year.
In iron manufacture there is more
demand for products and slightly bet
ter prices for Bessemer pig, which has
advanced to 5000 at Pittsburg, with
gray forge unchanged there.
Failures for the week have been
a35 in the United States against 200
last year and thirty in Canada against
fifty last year.

the wall.
Exercise before breakfast.
Eat little meat and see that it is we'll

Sam Small on Newspapers.

The Rev. Sam Small knows some
thing about the good newspapers do
and is disposed to give them credit
for it. He is fearless and says just
what he thinks, no matter whose corns
may be pinched. He recently had
some remarks to make about newspa-
per sensation as follows
81 have been a newspaper man
twelve years, and if wanted to get a
right square judgment I'd rather go
into a newspaper Office than court
of Justice. No man whose life is pure
and Just is afraid of all the newspaper
presses in America. They are the
best detective force in the country
to-day. They have punctured more
shams, and so far as I am concerned
1 say take the brides off and let 'em
90. The only one that will be hurt
will be the shams and frauds. And if
you think the newspaper prints too
much of sensational kind don't you
read it, and they will quit printing it.
The papers need to be reformed but
the people have got to be reformed
first. Newspapers are printed for
money and to suit their patrons. If
you don't think they are run as a
moral platform like Mr.. Barnum's
circus, why just reform yourselves and
the newspapers will follow suit.

ABOUT MARRIAGE
Does 1t Tend to Prevent Insanity?-wha'
nn Indiana Justice Snys.

Il
an Indiana Justice Snys.
Two men reasoning from entirely
different standpoints agree in an arti.
Gle in a New York paper that marriage
Is not only the happiest but most
healthful state of existence. Justice
Ephriam Keigwin, of Jeffersonville,
Ind, who has married 5000 couples in
thirty years, says:
Marry young, is my advice. If you
cannot marry young, marry as young
as you possibly can, and, above all,
marry. Most marriages are compro-
misses, anyway, matter of give and
take, and as whole it is better for a
man and woman to be married, even
if they do quarrel occasionally, than it
is to remain single. I'believe that mar
ried life makes people better 1t has
more restraining influence, which is
found in no other relation. 1t throws
a responsibility OH men and women
which few shirk wholly. There is moro
genuine. saving religion in the mar
rage ceremony than in any other cere-
mony performed by men,"
Cupid has found another strong
champion in the person of DR.. Edward
Foote, of New Yory city. This physician
gives facts and figures to show that
so per cent of the inmates of our insane
asylums would not be there to-day IL
they had been married at all, or IL their
parents had been married at the proper
time. DR.. Foote thinks that law
should be passed making 1t compulsory
for all young people to marry between
the ages of 19 and rs. Speaking of his
views DR.. Foote said:
1--WE have no means Of getting at the
exact figures on insanity in the United
States at the present time, but We have
a good criterion in the figures compiled
on the same subject for Great Britain.
This report shows that at every age
from 10 up to 65, and even upward, the
chances of single man becoming in
sane are six times greater than the
chances Of a married man going mad.
Between the ages of 20 and "a the odds
against the single man are something
lake II to 10, although they become
slightly smaller as the ages increase
DR.. Foote said from his experience in
having charge Of an insane asylum he
believing these figures equally applica-
BILE to the United States.

THE PACIFIC OCEAN TRADE
m Vast Importance Connected With
Hawaiian Annexation.

m Vast importance Connectou Win
Hawaiian Annexation.
The most striking fact in the COM
pnercial status OF the world to-day Is
the growing Importance of the Pacihc
ocean trade. 1t is on the Pacific Ocean
and in the lands surrounding it that
Gha commercial enterprises OF the COM
ing century will find chief scope. 10
that fact the opening and development
of Japan, the Building cf the Canadian
Pacific and the Russian trans-Siberlan
railroads, the enormous growth OF the
Australasian colonies and the present
scramble OF the European powers for
yartitioning of China all irreslstlDly
point.
Pacific trade has already attained
vast proportions. Japan has become
eae ca the great shipping nations, with
Taore than a thousand steamships OF
hea. own and with two million tons OF
foreign shipping in her ports each year.
Her foreign trade amounts to some
sIA6 0O0 QUO a year. That of China
amounts to S265 ,000, 900, and that of the
Australasian colonies to no less than
s570 900, 900. Those are large sums, but
even they are mere triiies compared
with what will be reported from tho
same regions few years hence. The
nulk If the Chinese trade may always
go to Europe overland or by way of the
.udlan Ocean. But a large snare OF
ii should beyond doubt come to and go
from this country and Should do so
directly by way of the Pacific. AS for
the others, Japan and Australasia, all
their trade, with Europe and with
oh notn across
xhe Pacific. That is by far the most
direct route. From Yokohama to Lon
don by way of Vancouver is now only
thirty days time. BY any otner route
II is 1orty- three. The completion OF the
railroad across Siberia will, OF course,
divert some Japanese trade to that
overland route. But 1t Will at the Same
anne ullmg auuitiunal Eur pean traue
to the Pacific, and thus actually III
Srsase the cOl.mercs OF tnaL ocean.
Great Britain is a great Pac1nc ocean
power, and she aims at maintaining her
supremacy in commerce in tnoses wa-
tiers. That is why she built rallroau
across Canada and is planning to ity
a telegraphic cable from vancouver 10
Australia. That is why she would ike
70 use Hawaii as halfway station for
such a cable. That is why she dlsllkeS
the idea of the United States getting
possession of Hawaii, for sheknoWsthaC
this would quickly be followed by lay
ing of cable from the United States to
Hawaii and thence to Japan, ald that
in turn by such an expansion OF United
States shipping in these waters as
would MANAGE her superiority. 1t is
entirely true that Hawaii would be OF
great value to this country as a naval
base in time of war, if war should ever
come. But it will be of far greater VAL
ne as a commercial station and outpost,
or halfway house Of trade, in the times
Of peace which. 1t is to be hoped, will
be perpetual. That is one of the most
practical forms of the question, not
merely whether this country is to have
Hawaii for what 1t is worth in itself,
but whether this country is to have the
cammanding rank in the trade OF the
Pacific which only the possession cS
Hawaii can assure.-N. Y. Tribune.

In everything the modern Greek does

out of the corner of his eye to see if
the rest of the world thinks he is act

No nation believes that so much is ex.

no nation could strive harder to fuiG'l
those expectations. The modern Greek
believes that the world Is constantly
comparing him to the ancient Greek
and is expecting him to take the same
commanding position in modern civil
ization to everybody that brings
back outward symbol of the ancient life

the spirit of the ancient life. The re-
vival of the Olympic games is more to
ihim than a successful war. Every re-

ancient usage, every substitution of an
ancient word or construction for q
modern one, is a matter of more grati-
fication than the appearance Of some
literary masterpiece In the modern
language. He looks forward to a time
when once more Greece shall be light
to the nations, an eventuality whose
crowning word of praise shall be not
that Greece leads in the modern world,
but that she resembles and equals her
ancient self.

his nation, with his every thought turn
