An eloquent Detroit preacher tells
this among his early experiences in .
rural parish. One of his parishioners
was very i'll, and finally sent for the min
lister, who found the man rather reti-
cent. and finally asked if there was any
thing he could do.
''Parson," was the answer, sleep
would make me well. but the doctor
can't make me sleep. l wondered Il
you'd preach me that long sermon I
heard last july. Detroit Free Press>

Emperor william. Mail.

The emperor of Germany has little
post Office of his own, with officials de-
tailed especially TO handle the yolum-
inous matter that comes every day ad-
dressed 10 him All letters are classi-
fed under the three heads, Private, y
"Oficial," and Immediate. Private
letters are handed over to the emperor
unopened, while those marked "Uffi-
cial" land in the civil cabinet of the
kaiser if they contain petitions by
civilians, while those of military char
acter go to the military cabinet. Chiefs
of these two departments make all the
necessary inquiries regarding the CON-
munications and then prepare the an
swers in accordance with the regula-
tions for official letters. These answers
are taken to the emperor, who expresses
his approval by affixing his signature
Answers are then dispatched by special
messengers to their destination. The
messengers used in this service are tn,
most trustworthy men who can be
found.-N. Y. Herald.

bright Porto Rican Women.

Porto Rican women are reported to
be brighter and more enterprising than
the men. They attend not only to do
mestic affairs, but take an active share
in trading and transportation. Many
carry on farms and keep store. Ameri-
can visitors admire their energy and sa-
gacity and think the women of the
island will cut some figure in its future
history.-Chicago Chronicle.

TWO DAY CELEBRATION.
That's What Langdon Proposes to Have Next
Fourth of Julu.

Fourth OF july.
Tue attendance at the mass meeting
of the citizens held on Monday evening
at the city hall to discuss the Fourth of
July celebration question was very graft
flying. 1t WAS promptly called to order
and presided over by P. McHugh, the
position of secretary being filled by
j. w. Mahon. During the meeting a
sentiment showed itself as being strongly
i'll favor of holding two day celebra-
ton. However all details were left in
the hands of a management committee,
given executive control to appoint other
committees and further the business Of
the celebration The committee selected
for such purpose by the meeting consist
ed of the following gentlemen: G. S.
Hunter, John Mahon, P. Ntzhugh, D. II.
Mcmillan, and W. Flumerfelt. The
plans for the holding Of the celebration
now rests in the hands of these represent
tative citizens and that everything will
be done to make the event perfect
success is guaranteed by the public
spirited character Of those III whose
hands the matter Is now left. Another
meeting will be held on the first Monday
in June, when the committee will be
able to announce what progress is beng
made.

GOOD PRICES,

Farmers will probably realize
good prices for their grain next
fall. The state reports of North
Dakota shows that wheat seeding
has been greatly delayed by ex-
cessive moisture and cold unsea.
sonable weather. AS there was
less blowing done than usual last
fall, owing to the early setting in
Of winter, it stands TO reason that
the wheat acreage will be largely
reduced from what 1t would have
been under better spring condition.
Nevertheless. the net reduction, as
compared with last years area
may not be very great, inasmuch
as many new farms have been
opened during the past twelve
months. But one thing the trade
should look at is the fact that the
spring wheat crop has got and will
get late start, which increases it's
liability to injury from later ad-
verse weather conditions. 1t is
acknowledged that the winter
wheat crop will be under average,
Notwithstanding the largely in
creased acreage put in last fall.
1t will require good conditions all
through the season to mature such
OF the plant as has escaped winter
killing; with unfevorabIe condi-
tons between now and harvest.
there may be less than half a crop
of winter wheat. Such being the
case, the situation is not one that
would seem to justify low wheat
prices in this country during the
next ten months. whatever may
be the outcome Of foreign crops.
This is year in which farmers
may got fair price for their wheat
it they will insist upon it.

The last Legislature passed a
law authorizing the appointment
of conservators for druukards or
spendthrifts in certain cases. The
law provides that where it is shown
to the county court that any man
is an habitual drunkard or spend
thrift, the defendant may be cited
to appear us in applications for the
appointment Of guardians for
minor persons, and that conser-
vators may be appointed, who may
exercise over the defendants the
same authority as of guardians
over wards. The first practical
application of the law has been
made i'll Csss county, where a wife
has made application for the ap,
pointment Of a conservator for he1
husband.

The designation by Senator
Jones, previous to his departure
for Europe, where he goes for his
health, of Mr.. j. G. Johnson, na-
tional committee man from Kansas,
to take charge of the affairs of the
democratic national committee
during the absence Of Senator
Jones, its chairman, and Mr.. Walsh,
its secretary, means that there will
be no change in the policy Of the
committee, as johnson has been
one of Senator Jones right hand
men ever since he became chair
man of the committee. 1t means
also that there is to be no change
in the chairman Of the committee
until after the candidats for presid-
ent is nominated next year.

places the total expenditures of
the Treasury on account of the
war with Spain, from the heginn-
ing of the wal preparations in
March of last year up to the pre-
sent time, at S275,000,000. It is
impossible for the treasury offici-

miscellaneous charges en- the
Treasury. The pension expendi-
lures will be heavy in proportion to
the number Of men engaged and
the duration to the number of men

war and on account of the percent
age of sickness that prevailed in

will also depend on the duration

still keeping the war department

Qday seems to be pretty certain
that recent presidents will be set
aside In his case by the senate when
he goes up to Washington to be
sworn in. Despite the failure Of
the Pennsylvania legislature to re-
elect him, Governor Stone, plant
tool Of the boss, appointed him the
day he was acquitted Of the charge
of felony. Two states that have
had recent experiences i'll legisla-
tive deadlocks, resulting in reach
ing an adjournment without being
able to elect senators are Oregon
and Montana. The governors of
these states attempted to fill the
: vacancies by appointment. The
senate rejected the appointees
and laid down the rule that in
cases where legislatures fail to
elect senators at the session pre-
scribed by law for performing this
function, the omission cannot be
cured until the assembling Of an
other Legislature. Quay has given
out that he has pledges from a
majority Of the members of the
senate that the rule will be alb
rogated in his case. This sounds
plausible. AS constituted. that
august body has a republican ma
jorlty-many of whom are the
beneticiarles and opponents Of
boodling methods. A crowd that
will wlitewash the notorious and
easily proven bribery charges
against Hanna cannot be expected
to haggle over the abrogation of q
rule that stands in tue way of adj
hitting to membership Hanna's
exemplar and yokefellow in poll
teal crookedness. A fellow feel
ing is likely to make the republi-
can majority in the senate wondr-
GUS kind to the oft indicted and al
ways acquitted Quay.

BRIAN, l.HE MAN,

Apart altogether from the poll
teal ideas which he promulgates
with so much vigor and intelli-,
gence, it is doubtful if the Ameri-
can republic has produced a more
remarkable entity than William
Jennings Bryan. His physical
vigor alone is a constant source of
wonder to other public men, who
have broken down under one-ffth
part of the strain which Bryan has
undergone, and from which he has
emerged placid, CALM, and unex-
hausted. Despite the ridicule Of
the press, which has employed
every sophistry that brains and
money could produce to burlesque
Bryan, to misrepresent him in all
things both great and small, such
is the charm sof his personality,
the power Of his eloquence, or the
dominant and magnetic force of
his intellect, that the people still
rush to hear him in hordes, not
withstanding the fact that they
expect to read in the plutocratic
papers the next day that their
hero addressed a begsarly array
Of empty benches. The people are
acquiring habit Of seeing things
for themselves, and the old dodge
Of laying about observable facts
has lost its potency.
Mr.. Bryan probably has q wider
actual knowledge of this United
States from personal observation
than any man living. 1t is said
that he has spoken publicly IN
every one Of the states. He does
not repeat his speeches except as
to great underlying principles, and
his facility in this difficult branch
OF oratory seems marvellous even
to students OF the art Of speaking
In speaking, his sense Of proper.
ton is perfect, and he never talks
himself out. He is far too much
in earnest to be humorous speak.
Ell i'll the sense in which Depew is
but he occasionally lightens LIS
discourses with anecdote or par.
able, after the manner Of Abraham
Lincoln. It noticeable among the
crowds that flock to hear Bryan
that they also are in deadly earnes
and therefore in accord with the
speaker.
Mr.. Bryan is the most striking
figure i'll the public life of thi!
country. Even the hidebound ano
servile organs Of the trusts break
through the bounds Of thei.
hypocrisy and pay an homes
tribute of admiration to maj
who would rather be right thar
polite. -.
