RepnbIlcsns Foster Trusts.

Trusts have grown to such ominous
proportions during the last two years
and are creating so much alarm among
the people in all the states, that the
leading men are being called together
in conference to devise some means to
check growth OF these unlawful COM
binations, and compel them to submit
to the requirements Of law. Mr.. Bryan
has been called upon to attend three
such conferences within a month. The
governors Of the various sttaes are
being urged TO call the legislatures to-
gether In special session TO enact rigid
antitrust laws. The Democrats in the
last Kentucky legislature introduced
and championed such law. and II
would have passed but for the solid
opposition OF the Republican members.
DO you think in the face OF that con-
duct that the Republican party in Ken
lucky can be relied upon TO place
controlling hand on these unlawful
combinatiOnsY

IL is one of the pecuiiarities of the victim of worry that he does not notice anything until 1t rises up and hits him; and the more use it would be to him the more utterly incapable is he of seeing il. Sc Blaisdell stood there iH the still night air aud felt for the ianitor that peculiar hatred with which the nervous insonniac al- ways regards the healthy animal who sleeps well.
 'lt looks as if III have 10 go to q hotel" said BiaisdeIl But he disliked to ito such d thing. knowing that his wife would be anxious.
 So he punched the bell once more, for good measure, but naturally it awak- ened nobody Nothing remained ex- cept the hotel idea. Reluctantly Blais- dell turned away and wandered about six blocks to great caravansarai3 where he was about to register when he remembered that he had less than dollar in his pocket. Probably he could have made his credit good. Ger tainly a man with such past should have known how to do 1t. But be dis liked 10 exercise his talents for so small q stake. He was tempted 10 bor=

get out of debt. So she looked up an- other place 10 live.
 I happened to be passing the house in which the Blaisdells had resided just as a large van was rolling away with the last of their furniture. Blaisdell stood on the sidewalk in an attitude of abstraction.
 Five got to go up into the flat again for something.n said he. after We had greeted each other, "hnt hang me if 1 can remember what it is
 At that moment two men appeared carrying a trunk which seemed to be empty. Blaisdell slapped his forehead with his hand.
 That's it" he cried. s'There are q few things up there which we couldn't stow away anywhere. They're to go in that trunk. Come up while l throw them in, and then I'll go down town with you.'
 ''You won't be long?n saidI
 Cant" he replied, I've just given the landlord q check for the rent, and I've got to get down town and take care of 1t. I guess there1l be enough in the mail this morDingi if there isn't I'll borrow the balance somewhere. Come up.n

 When this little matter had been strengthened out, he turned to me and said impressively, with the air of one who remarks upon that which never happened before, and cannot happen agGin:
 "f believe I've made q mistake.v

tered the bare and desoiatc apartments. There was 4 pile of very rubbisBy lools- ing stuff in tbe middle of the parlor floor. Blaisdell bundled it into the trunk, slammed the lid down; affixed q eard with his new address, and then announced that he was ready to de part.
 When we were half way over to the elevated station l noticed thai his mind was troubled. He bought two tickets with half a dollar, and put them into his pocket, retaining ia his hand tbe change which he deposited in the tick ct chopper. thereby defanging its ma ehinery and earaging the person in charge of t.

But the doctor and the nurse entered with it and sat, one at the head and one at the foot, while the well-trained horses drew the equipage carefully through the streets. The sick man, in that dull indifference to all that passed that had been his attitude for days. did not even notice that he was moving; in Iife-in the full enjoyment of it-he was very fond of q horse and never missed his daily drive This was, how different!
 At the station the carriage drew up beside Il freight ear. There are hos pital ears so=ealledi but the genius who devised them with every YeoHFeH@ fence that the needs of the sick might suggest put the door in the end instead 9f the side; it is better to use freight ear and extemporize whatever else is needed than to try to take cot through | door at the end of q ear. unless the journey is to be long one. So the cot was put eeHtlEiR upon the floor and the doctor and the nurse resumed their places at head and foot. The train was soon ready to stazt. When 1t reached the station another carriage with perfect springs and noiseIess pneumatic tires was ready.

Society. from the Riagstrasse. The man she is going to marry, unless in the meantime some one discovers that he is bogus and not real Prince Cautacuzene. is little and dark and unattracfiYe-no at all ones idea of a Ieissian prince.
 The marriage is to take place in Sep tember. It is by no means the only thing to talk about in Newport. In the same month Perry Belmont is coming back to the United States with the Mrs. Belmont who was the divorced wife of Henry T. Sloane. Smart people are puzzled whether to receive her, but they will do so in the end. Mrs. Bel mont will meet some affronts that as Mrs. Sloane she would never have known, but she will win.
 She can comfort herself by consider ation of the case of Miss Astor, who be- came Mrs. Coleman Srayton, who was the cause of q proposed duel between her husband and HalIett Alison Bor- rowe; was divorced, kept quiet for awhile, married an obscure FDg. Hshman named Haig, and is now bril- Iiantiy entertaining in London, by the help of her mother, Mrs. Astor, and bv favor of the London pencbant for all things and people American.
 Mere Mrs Haig now to return to New York she would be kindly greeted. Her ease was, if anything, more scandalous than that of the present Mrs. Belmont. lime has done for her what it will do for the latest and most discussed di- voreee.
 As for ordinary folks. who have not millions, the best thing they can dc is to behave themselves. The example of the rich will not shield them from reap ing the fruits of evil-doing.

 He took q cigar from his case and a match from the receptacle on the desk, lighted Che weed. pufTed a blue cloud toward the night clerk aud strolled out.
 T lIoW what the trouble is, said he to himself when he was again abroad h the cold world. "I gave the ianitor in the old house the wrong set of keys. Instead of returning those that be longed over there, ] gave him the new ones"
 He stopped under lamp-post and examined his assortment of keys. They were loose in his pocket, for lie never dared 10 carry them on a ring, right lX reasoning that an absent-minded man ought to split the chances of loss.
 If his keys were on a ring he could lose them all at once, but hardly if they Were separate.

He had a habit of appearing at the door in the dead watches of the night. and pretending to let people in, when in reality they were well equipped with latch-lleys, and he knew it. The gift of q quarter on such occasions would make him forget any unsteadiness in the gait of the tenant, and also the hour of his homecoming,
 "Sehnoopers," said BIaisdell, when the janitor appeared, "I must have given you the wrong keys this morn ing
 "Ne2 Der wrong geys?9 said sehnoeRers. You gif= me no geys it all"
 BlaisdeIlWent into ono. of his frances.

 'SWeitzer case und dunnerwetter!" he muttered, or words to that effect. " he come back so late? " be come back at ail2 Yy not drow der gers der ash-barrel in, like efferypuddy else does2 NA2 gif him ub."
 Meanwhile BlaisdelI was walking away with his left hand in the Ieft-siae pocket of his pantaloons; and elasped in his fingers were the keys of his new home, which he had put in this place where he never carried any keys-so -Aat they might be kept separate from III others.
 It was after two o'clock when he re- fred to rest. Something always pre- -ents the worried man who needs sleep nore than anybody else from getting i he little that really belongs to him.

 Brooklyn was done by the Brooklyn City Railroad company; stock. S3,o0o.- ooo, dividends usually ten per cent. Spectators bought it, guaranteeing continued ten per cent. dividends. They doubled the stock to pay for electric equipment, stiu guaranteeng the diyi- dends, and putting up a million in cold cash as forfeit-the only case of the kind that I remember. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit, under the name 1t then bore, owned just one-half mile of road. It bought several hundred miles.
 The jobbers bought other lines, al- ways guaranteeing dividends. During the present spring it bought the Nassau lines, the only other system of any size. and increased its own stock from S2o.- oo0,ooo to S45,ooo,0o0. Not one dollar of this sum is represented by money spent upon the road. In every ease the equipment was paid for by the original
