led a New York paper few days ago to
state that Frank Could the youngest of

The Great Salt Lake in Utah is said to
be growing smaller Prof. James T.. Tai
mage explains this by saying that the
volume of water from its four tributary
rivers is being more and more diverted
for irrigation purposes, hence the supply
OF the fake is diminished. The professor
says the water Of the lake is growing more
acrid each year as il shrinks in size and
he thinks that in another hundred years
or SO the lake viii become a glittering bed

The next time it is proposed to send a
negro regiment to Springfield. H.. there
will probably be as vigorous a protest as
THAI which Atlanta made the other day
The reason may be found in this extract
from Springfield dispatch, dated Sept >:

I'm Bloomington was brutally assaulted by
& band of thirty negroes, members of the
Eighth Battalion. l. N G.. near Camp
Lincoln last night. The woman was at

uitimatum. II seems that the pastor had
Informed the congregation that he thought
The members had had TOO much preaching
and that what they needed was a little
plain talking; he would, therefore, dis
pense with set sermons and give them
plain talks. The congregation heard him
one Sunday, and did not like the innova-
ton. The pastor was thereupon informed
mat he could 90 back into the pulpit and
resume preaching or ne could quit; that
the members did not propose to pay for
plain talking

A bureau chief in Washington, speaking
of the preference that is being shown 0
men in the selection of clerks, stenographers
and typewriters, says the reason is that
men are more amenable to discipline than
women. and that the average man can be
depended on to 90 more work than the
average woman in case of a rush. The
heads of departments feel more at liberty
to exact strict compliance with rules
and performance of duties from men than
from women. Women clerks are not less
capable than men, but they expect TO he
treated with more consideration than men
are.

Minister OF War de Gallifet is Tired of
and disguised with this lin camera" busi-
ness in the Dreyfus trial. That is pre-
ciseiy what is the matter with the case
now. There has been too much in cam
era about it, Had il been tried in the
open the first time, the case would never
have become a national issue. All of the
stuff about going into secret sessions for
diplomatic reasons is poppycock To
judge from the rotteness in French army
circles that has been disclosed during the
progress Of the trial, the war Office does
not possess a secret that is worth having
mat the foreign Powers interested are not
privy TO if they desired 10 be.

strike in the shipping trades of England.
At Liverpool. Hull, Cardiff and Bristol It
is said the fremen and sailors are pre-
pairing for a strike in the event that their
demand for increased wages should be re-
fused. A big strike about this time. when
ships for charter are in demand would
strike the owners squarely in the pocket.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger 0nd) says: IF
the Boer government inhexibly insists
upon the absolute abandonment of suze-
rainty, as the price of material conces-
sions to the Outlanders, it is difficult TO
see anything but war in the situation AS
the dispatch from Pretoria indicates, there
are to be further conferences. As long
as possible antagonists are willing to con-
fer there is hope of compromise, ar
rangement and settlement. Mr. Asquith,
in a speech on Saturday in London, char
acterized the Transvaal matter as deli
cate and dangerous" but was hopeful that
the crisis would be tided over by prudent
diplomacy The sympathetic attitude of
the Dutch in South Africa toward their
kinsmen in the Transvaal and posi-
BILE uprising of the native trlbesmen are
elements of the situation that give far
reaching Importance TO pending confer
ences and negotiations"
The Baltimore sun Dem) says: "A
conjecture is made that even if the court
does not dare to convict Dreyfus, it Will
so acquit him as to force his dismissal
from the army. vote of four to three
against him would have, il is said, this
effect-it would mean acquittal, but neces-
state dismissal. Such conclusion would
be unsatisfactory to the friends of JUS

clude an appeal 10 the Court of Cessation,
bur it is doubtful whether Dreyfus is
physically capable of a further fight for
right treatment and whether the French
government would not place obstacles in
the way of any further proceedings.

EXCELLENT CONCERT.

The concert at the Washburn street
Presbyterian church last evening was
undoubtedly one of the best ever CIV
en- in the city. It is to be regretted
that a larger audience was not pres
ent to enjoy the treat The enlarged
choir augmented by Bauer's orchestra,
rendered several excellent numbers
under the direction of Prof. c. 3. Der
man. Misses Margaret Jones and
Lydia Sailor sang sweetly together,
and Miss Beatrice Morris recited sew
eral appropriate selections She was
compelled to respond TO encores after
each of her numbers on the pro-
gramme.
Miss Sailors two solos, the violin
playing of Miss Julia Allen and Miss
COrdelia Frecman's singing were par
ticularly pleasing. The efforts of the
accompanies, Miss Blackman and Mr..
Naylor added much to the success of
the concert. The rendition Of "Carita''
by the ladies semi-chorns was also we'll
received.
In addition to those mentioned, who
| contributed to the success of the un-
| dertaking, We're the following: Misses
Anna Waters, Margaret Jones, Mary
Davis, altos: Mrs. DIR. Brewster. Miss
Flynn, Miss Sailor, sopranos; Harold
Battin. j. A. Stone, bassos: George
| Waters, Messrs. Gutheinz, Kreig and
Peek, tenors.

REV. HUGHES LECTURE.

Rev James Hughes delivered an es-
pecially interesting and timely lecture
last evening in the First Welsh Bap-
tist church on THE British Boer War
The pastor. Rev. d. d. Hopkins, acted
as chairman of the evening, and the
lecture was listened to by a fair-sized
audience.
The speakers residence in the Trans
vaal makes him particularly competent
to speak on this subject. He opened
his remarks with a description of the
country and the existing conditions
there today
He said that there are 260, 900 Eng
lish-speaking people in the country and
that these are controlled by 10000
Dutch Beers. There is a parliament
composed of 5000 and an executive
committee over this again. Dom Paul
Kruger acts as president of this COM
mittee.
Mr.. Hughes said that the war was
not for annexation or for humanity,
but that it was for the sole purpose of
securing better representation in the
government for the English-speaking
population.
