Yboon to the most densely peopIed part of the country.
 Japanese capitalists have a conces- sion for a railroad between Seoul and the southern part of Fusan, which they must complete in ten years The distance is only about 200 miles as the bird flies, but the road, which is to be ] broad gauge will be considerably | longer, and Consul General Allen writes that much of the equipment will be purchased in this. country. The French are also in Corean railroads. and are now surveying a line to con- meet Seoul with the northwest border and the Russian line projected through Manchuria. Their concession was ob- tained little later than the American concession for the Seoui-Chemu1po railroad. Seoul will soon have an electric street car line, six miles long, equipped with the overhead trolley. Other financial undertakings now un- der way are the gold mines that Amer ican capital is opening in the richest gold bearing district of the country and for which large amount of min ing machinery has been shipped from the United States About fifty Ameri cans are connected with the mining or
 
 cur fellow countrymen are engaged in educational or missionary work. About the only exports we send to Corea are timber and lumber from the Pacific coast and kerosene oil, which is the chief i1luminant used there. Aneri- cans practically monCpolize this trads, and they have recently erected large and substantial warehouses on an 1S land in Chemulpo harbor for the StOr- age Of this commodity.
 After the recent war which made Corea independent of China, we heard a great deal about the prominent part that Japan and particularly Russia were taking in the direction of the in ternal affairs of the kingdom. Less attention has been directed to the fact that for year past the country has been paddling it's own canoe as far as it's dome stic government is concerned. It employs, to be sure, the services of considerable number of foreigners, who act as advisers or instructors in various departments of the govern ment and among them are seven Americans. But these men are en- gagged in their private capacity and no foreign government now attempts to interfere with the internal policy of the kingdom. A year ago this month a protocol was negotiated between Russia and Japan by which they de- clsred their recognition of the sover- eighty and complete independence of | Corea, agreed not to interfere with the | domestic government of the land, and | also that if Corea shall apply at any | time to either country for advice or | neither shall take any steps | without previous consultation with the | other. If this policy is consistently | Corea will have an extended | course of training in the valuable art | 3f helping herself along the pathway of modern progress and she will not ack efficient tutors nor the brains and capital of other nations to assist in Ter advancement without subverting Ter indenandence New York Sun.

PLENTY OF PLUNKS.

If Colonel Bryan, as a Washington correspondent suggests, should pick out MT. Belmont as political side partner in 1900 there will be no lack of cash with which to run his cam- paign. There will be no necessity for ''CCin'' Harvey schemes for raising the wind from the sale of patriotic brands of cigarettes or toy balloons. MT. Bel mont has $6OOO, GOO or s700O,0 600 of his own, and his wife, formerly Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, has about as much more. They have rich friends who would also contribute Hberally to . campaign fund, and altogether it would be easy financial sailing for the campaign committee with MT. Bei- mont as the tail of the Bryan ticket. o. H. P. Belmont is a different type of man entirely from his brother, Perry Belmont, president of CrOker' democratic club, and an ex-member of congress. Perry Belmont is exclusive in his tastes and unapproachaIble to those with whom he is not on equal terms socially He unbends to Croker and a few others, but not tO the mob. His brother on the contrary, with whom, as is known, Al Lewis, the for mei' Kansas City newspaper man, Is associated in editorial management Of the Verdict, is exceedingly democratic. He is a good mixer, and the social side of his nature is strongly deyeloceG. He is a good liver, an industrious drinker. with a stomach to stand any kind Of punishment. He is generally well liked and is recognized as a man of considerable stability of character

SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION.
Forward Movement Shows the Ten dencies of Catholic Institutions.

The plea for wider range of study
 in the sciences made by thep represen-
 tatives cf the Roman Catholic colleges
 now in session in this city is signifi-
 cant of the modern trend of education al ideas that is demanding the gradual readjustment of college and school
 curricula to meet the scientific ten- dencies of the times.
 It is ITO disparagement to Catholic institutions of learning to say that they have been most reluctant to make their courses of instruction conform to the popular demand for utilitarian studies. A certain scholastic conserv- atism has been the pride of Catholic schools and universities. Their blend ing of religious instruction with the pursuit of classical studies has neces- sarlly made them more lnvu]nerable to the practical spirit of the age. Their educational ideals are high. They have an exalted conception of the dignity and power of learning, and they place great value upon religion as an essential to education.
 That this conservatism is showing signs of giving way to the spirit of scientific inquiry and experimental tiOn is therefore calculated to attract wide attention among educators. Lab oratories and other scientific equip ment for investigation are being con structed by the Catholic universities, and full scientific courses have been provided The demand of the times is for education of this sort rather than research among the dead Ian guages In yielding to it, however, there is no disposition to deprecate the educa tfcnal value of the classics, neither will the Catholics relinQIish their efforts to surround every insti- tuition with a distinctly religious at mosphere.
 The Catholic educators are simply getting abreast of the times. This is an age of wonderful production in la bor-saving contrivances and other de vices for contributing to mans needs and pleasures, the invention of which involves more CT less scientific knoWl- edge. The Catholic colleges have come to appreciate the necessity for giving the youth of Catholic families the benefit of the best thought in these lines. It is a forward movement and is significant of the progressive ten dencies of the modern Catholic lnstI- tutions of 1earning.-Chicago Times Herald

 asleep, Again its seething pillows surge and
 leap And break in fulness of their ecstasy. Each wave so like the wave which
 came before, Yet never two the same Imperative, And then persuasive as the cooing

works system to which this city was paying $5,090 per annum was assessel the same amJunt-$20, 000-and the electric light plant-machinery, build ing, lines, etc, was only assessed about one-half as T1uch-$12, 500
 Today the electric light works are assessed at s38,6O0, and the water works at $5O,O00, and it is my opinion that this assessment is as low in con- parison of value as the assessment of any firm or individual in the city, Do you wonder that I was willing to accept the nomination rather than have MT. Monihon nominated? thought if he continued to be mayor and I completed the hotel he would come around and assess it so high that I would have to give him the hotel to pay the taxes"
 This statement of facts, made in public meeting and published next morning, has never been denied by MT. Monihon. Is man fit to be mayor who would act as Monihon acted in this case?

That Gamewell fire alarm system lease negotiated by MT. Monihon when he was mayor. stands as a monument to his incapacity to administer the af- fairs of the city. At the end of five years the city will have paid the Gamewell company S3,6OO and the Gamewell people will still own the system Then another lease will be in order un.ess the city shall happen to have business man in the mayors chair If MT.

100000 MILES BY RAIL.
That Is the Tally of the Man Who
 Held the First Mileage Ticket.

The man with the big ticket" is in town Though that sobriquet may not mean much to the casual listener, to any old conductor on the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy railroad it means but one person, w. s. ChenOWeth. This nickname arose from the fact that MT. Chenoweth was the first pOssessor of a mileage ticket in the world.
 That was nearly forty years ago, he said yesterday, when I was travel ing for an insurance company. l wanted . rate less than cents mile, and I went to the Chicago offices of the c. B. and o. and told them so. The manager said he thought he could fix me up for $75 so that 1 should not have to pay n1ore than 2 cents a mile. He took a sheet of foolscap paper and ruIsd it into columns, one for the name of the place I started at, another for the place I got off at, and a place TOT the conductor to sign his name in. On the top of the whole thing was writ ten agreement of the rate l was to have. l. was not a big thing when l started, but as I went on, l had to paste on extensions fer the conductors to sign their names cn. That thing grew and grew till at last it was about ten feet long. It became too trouble some to carry, so I sent it back and had it renewed If I travelled my time out on it it would certainly have be- come twenty feet long.
 During the twenty-eight years that Mir. Chenoweth travelled for the insur- an'ce company he averaged 25,000 miles a year, making the astonishing total of 100000 miles. He has become so used to going about from place 70 place that he finds it impossible to stay at home He says it is bad for his health and makes him get thin, so he still keeps up his peregirnations.- Denver Republican.

PAR1sIANs BLOCKING TO HIM.
An American Creating a Sensation in
 Paris as a Healer.

A great sensation has bean caused in Paris by the wonderful cures alleged to be effected by weird in- dividual named Edwards, an American by birth, whose modus Clperandi is the imposition of hands. I have just paid visit to Edwards at his consulting rooms in the Rue Cadet, and found them crammed with people, many Ct whom are well known women of so- ciety. Dr. Edwards, with his long white hair tumbled in disorder over his back, his regular features and the Semitic incline of his nose, presents Q striking appearance. In a long dress ing gown, on which shines, at the waist, a silver cross. and with bare and sand2led feet, he has, his admir- CTS think, so close resmblance to St. Paul shat this is the nickname they have given him, and which he has pro- fessionally adopted.
 "I was raised in Rome," said the magician to me, '+and am by religion Q Catholic. My mother, who was aH English woman, spent some days be- fore my birth in great devotion before the statue of St. Paul. and christenec me Paul Doubtless that is why l re- eemble St. Paul, and that my body is marked with the stigmata of the cross.
