intensely American, and gives every
sick or disabled soldier in the hospitals

these beers are from the United States.

go up in flame and carry its inmates to

SOCIALISM IN THE WEST.

The elections which have just been
held in western cities are not worth
much as indications Of uLe trend of
national politics. The really cOnspicu-
GUS feature is the prevalence of that
form of socialism which looks to the
standardization OF public utilities. ="
In Toledo Mayor Jones was re-
elected, running as an independent
against the regular nominee of his
party. on a platform calling for the es-
Establishment of municipal plant for
the manufacture of fuel gas, the con-
troll and operation of electric lighting
by the city,. sprinkling the streets, no
franchises to be granted except in
dorsed by popular vote. and a good
many other things in the same line. In
Detroit the project for the purchase
and operation of all the street rail-
roads by the city, which is already un-
der way, is Endorsed. In Chicago the
size OF Carter Harrison's plurality IS
undoubtedly due to the fact that he
successfully fought off the great fran
chise scheme of the Yerkes combina-
ton.
All these things are interesting as
showing the trend toward sociGnsuc
ideas in municipal affairs.

He HELD UP LORD RoTHscHILD.
How General Kitchener Made the
Banker Contribute to Fund.

seWhen Kitchener was starting his
list for the half million dollars he de-
manded for the Gordon college, he was
advised that the first step he could take
was to attend a lunch in the city when
Lord Rothschild would give. The lunch
was duly ordered; the guests were met;
the table set. In the middle there was
an awkward pause. Lord Rotas-
child was observed to leave
Lord Kitchener after short
conversation. and as Lord Roths-
childs face was somewhat flush
ed and his eyes shone brightly, it was
easily seen that the great banker was
not pleased And he wasn't.
For what had happened was this:
Lord Kitchener, with that shrewd
sense he has-especially where money
is concerned-saw that the amount of
the subscriptions of others would
largely depend on the amount with
which Lord Rothsehild would start the
list. He fixed that amount in his own
mind at $4,000. When Lord Rotsh-
child came up to him Lord Kitchener
asked with characteristic bluntness
what amount he wished to subscribe.
Five thousand dollars replied Lord
RothschiId. a little taken aback. l
want $25, OOO,' said Kitchener; ana
more over, unless l get it shan't stay
to lunch Lord Rothschild IS gener~
ous-the generosity of the family IS
as well known. indeed, as its wealth
but a stand-and-deHver message of this
kind was something more than even
the most generous of men would like.
And that was why Lord ROthschild
looked angry.
'The news spread through the room;
surprise and horror were on every
face, and several of the distinguished
guests went up to Kitchener to remon-
strate, Wolseley at the head. They
might as well have talked to the Egyp-
tan Sphinx twenty-five thousand
dollars or I goI' said Kitchener. He
got the $25, 900 with the result he
had multiplication other multinlil-
1ionaires had to follow Lord Roths-
child's example, and when the lunch
was over the subscription for the Cor
don college was started with $125,000.
1t is Kitchener all over. His love OF
money-not for himself, be it under
stood. but for his cause-is 50 cOnsum-
ing that he is said 10 take a positive
pleasure in doing a man if he can
thereby save the eXcheQuer and reduce
expenses. And he is just as mereiless
with the bodies and souls as with the
pockets Of men AS he is useful or
useless to the great work, so is a man
regarded by Kitchener. He has no IA
vorites any more than he has animosi-
ties An officer gets i'll; at once he is
sent back. Years of service, enthusi-
asm in the cause, bravery, skill, all in
vain; he is a useless mouth, and back
he goes. This is the kind of leader to
succeed, but not the kind of one to be
loved And Kitchener is not loved

THE ELECTRIC FIRE BALL.

while we didn't feel it to any great eX-

flash of blneish white fire lit up the
whole room Then a globe of fame
about the seize of an orange seemed to
spring from the armatCTe and began to
roll slowly from over the top of the
table. AS nearly as I can describe the
thing, it was like q globule of molten
metal, glowing through and through
with every color of the rainbow 1t
was beautiful to look at, and fascinated
me like a snake. Moreover, it seemed
as fragile as bubble-as if touch
would shiver it to atOms-and without
thinking 1 reached for it with a wood
en- ruler. Luckily my assistant had
more sense, and he yelled at me SO
frantically that 1 stopped before /
touched it, Just then this frey ball
reached the edge and rolled off. AS it
struck the floor it shattered like drop
of quicksilver and suddenly disap-
peared When l recovered my senses
and locked at the table l was shocked.
The instrument was a wreck and the
track CT the electric appariti0n was
charred into the wood half an inch
deep. If 1 had prOdded it l wouldn't

metal edge and L certainly would
have been electrocuted then and there.
