Pennsylvania's Disgrace.

1T would SEEM" says the Buffalo
Express, that the scandalous
revelations made by the legisla
tive bribery investigation in Pennsyl-
vania must arouse the most calloused
voters in the state to an appreciation of
the true situation"
1t would seem so. indeed. In compar-
ison with the grandeur and magnifl-
cence of w. A Clark's bribery opera
tons in Montana, the little. one-horse
Doodle affairs that have been taking
place in Pennsylvania should arouse the
deepest Indignation and disgust. Thus
far five members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, when called before an in
vestigating committee have testified
that they were approached with offers
of money to influence their votes. The
highest offer was $1,000. and from that
they dwindled down to $50, the most
common being 500. Think of that. gen.

" success of the savings banks es-
tablished in connection with its
public schools to teach the children the
benefits of frugality. There are SO of
these banks now in the city of Chicago
and an effort is being made to increase

close the account he is usually asked
what he wants to purchase with the

London, June Among notable mems
opinions on ROsebery's speech dealing
with the question whether wealth is
worth having, Cecil Rhodes is perhaps
most interesting.
He said today: Wealth is of service
inasmuch as it enables me to carry out
great ideas.
without a great fortune I should not

press rebeIliOns. and it is for that rea-
son only that l attach any Importance
to the possession of money"
Lord Rosebery had said that in the
qualification of luxurious tastes there
are counterbalancing considerations and
that life is not so unequal between ricn
and poor as it seems. Thereupon Sir
Thomas Upton said today:
Wealth of itself has many uses not
the least of these being the assistance
it gives one in carrying out schemes for
the ameIioration of the lot of others
who don't possess 1t.
1T may be used for patriotic, charita-

of it brings no pleasure"

New Albany. Ind, June Another
large detachment of the hundreds of
gypsies. or Russian eXiles, as they call
themselves, have reached here and been
driven out of town.
Three miles north of here a picnic
party met an aged woman badly Grip
pied, who had been deserted by the
tribe. She had been soothsayer among
them, but because some of her incanta-
tons failed to have the desired result
she said they ill-treated and abandoned
her. When found the old woman had
walked fourteen miles, carrying a pack
age weighing almost 200 pounds. To
the party she said that she was pos
sessed of a devil. At intervals she
would break into walls and lamenta-
lions. singing a weird kind of song
which she said would cast the devil
out of her body. She tried to commit
suicide when her efforts failed. When
last seen she was sitting in the road
in a driving rain, without any prOtec-
ton. What became of her is not known.

OWEN REMOVED.

Owen offered Another Place
ON the Force.

Mayor Drew has removed J. c. Owen
from the position of sergeant on the
police force and has appointed G. w.
Belts to succeed him. The change took
effect this morning at o'clock.
In speaking of the removal of Ser
geant owen, Mayor Drew said: Il do
it in the interests of harmony and be-
ieve that it will make the police force
more efficient. That is all 1 have to
say about it"
Realizing the valuable services of
Owen on the force Mayor Drew has Of
fered him the position of detective.
owen could not be found today to state
whether he would accept or not.
Those who have been c1amoring for
the removal of Owen were finally
forced to give some excuse for the act
when the proposed change became pub
lie and the reason given was that Ser
geant Owen caused trouble and discon-
tent among the members of the force.
The truth is that certain patrolmen,
who pay more attention to politics and
gOsSiping than they do to their duties,
are the indictments who have caused
no end of bad feeling by continually
working for the removal of Sergeant
Owen with the hope that they would be
the lucky one to be appointed to the
vacancy. In order to secure harmony"
there must be two or three more SER
geancies on the force for the malcon-
tents they should be removed.
In speaking of the proposed removal
several days ago Mayor Drew said: II
do not wish it understood that I have
any fault to find with Sergeant Owen
and he is not removed for cause" owen
started on the force as patrolman dur
ing Gov. dwellings administration
while the police force was operated I'M
der the metropolitan police law. He
was advanced to the position of ser
geant during Governor Leedy's admin
istratiOn which position he has filled
since.
G.. w. Belts, who succeeds Owen, is a
brother of Councilman J. b. Belts from
the First ward. Belts lives in North
Topeka and was employed in the Santa
Fe shops as blacksmith before he was
given a place as patrolman.

Attorney General GODDARD Deals a
Blow to Agricultural College.

Attorney General GODDARD has written
an opinion which will, if followed by
the agricultural college regents, throw
a number of professors at the institu-
ton out of their jobs.
Last January the PopuHSt board of
regents made contracts with the favor
lite professors for two and one-half
years This arrangement would have
continued these persons in office during
months after the date it expires, unless
he should be reelected. Even then
these contracts would keep the profess
ors until the close of the school year in
June, 1901.
The attorney general holds that the
board of regents has no right to make
contracts for two and one-nalf years,
and therefore the contracts so made are
null and void

quest of the present board of regents,
