The Taxameter a Success.

The statement is confidently made
that the taxameter, or cab-fare indi-
Gator, will quickly be introduced in
all the civilized cities of the world. 1t
appears that in both Berlin and Lon
don, where the taXameter has been
adopted, it has been as popular with
the "cabby" as with the fare" The
reason of this surprising fact is that
this system of automatic fare indica-
ton effectively and permanently in
creases the number of fares. Many
persons object to ride in cabs because
of the possibility of an alteration
the fare when the trip is ended. All
that is put at an end by the taxame-
ter, which shows, in plain sight, the
distance traversed and the fare to be
paid. Consequently more persons are
riding in cabs today than ever rode
before, and the increase in the number
of fares is looked upon as permanent.
The taxameter also enables the pro-
prietor to control and check the daily
receipts and efficiency of the vehicle
or the distance covered by it. More
over, since the apparatus calculates
the fare on the basis of the distance
covered, the driver earns his money
quicker according to the rate at which
he drives, system equally profitable
and agreeable to both passenger and
driver. 1t is said that the cab pro-
prietor who has once introduced the
fare indicator can and may no longer
conduct his business without it. In
Berlin, where the taxameter introduce
ton at first was strongly opposed by
masters and men, $500 of the city's
$500 first-class cabs are now fitted
with them. The cab proprietors pay
$125 a month for each instrument.

The olive is one of the oldest-known

it forms the basis of many parallels

In Grecian mythology the olive tree

melancholy in appearance, but the eye

In general the olive will flourish
wherever the vines can be cultivated

WHERE PEOPLE NEVER MARRY.

One of the questions confronting
Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India, Is,
how he is going to introduce marriage
into certain province that has a pop
ulation of a million or so. The peo--
pie are called Nairs and reside on the
Malabar coast. All descent is traced
through the female line, the descend
ants of one female ancestor living to-
gether and holding their property
jointly. Even if an individual ae-
quires separate property, at his death
it goes into the family pot, and his
children get nothing. His highness the
zamorin and the Brahmins claim d.
vine sanction for the system and win
oppose any legal measure to make
marriage compulsory. There may have
been time when the present system
worked well, but that is past. As
things are, female education is out OF
the question and the honorable, happy
state of wifehood and motherhood is
impossible. The home has no exist
ence, while the tie of mutual love and
honor which unites parents and chill
dren is unknown. The custom is
known as "marumaAatayam

GATES ARR NOW OPEN
First Greater America Colonial Expos tion
Opens with Elaborate Ceremonies.
IS BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Enthusiastic Crowds Testify to Success
OF the Big Show and Praise Omaha
Enterprise Many Attractions and More
Are Constantly Being Added.

Promptly on time the gates of the
First Greater America Colonial Expo
sition were opened on the morning of
July i, and the last great educational
enterprise of the 18th century is now
well under way, it's beautiful grounds
and magnificent buildings thronged
with crowds Of visitors, who are sur
prised and pleased to find their ex-
pectations more than realized. The
buildings and grounds are complete
and the principal exhibits already in
place. A large force of men. working
day and night, are rapidly bringing
order out of chaos and few days will
serve TO put all the splendid displays
in position.
The grounds cover about two hun
dred acres and are arranged in four
sections, or divisions. The most inn
portant section is the Grand Court of
Honor, where the principal buildings
are grouped around the lagoon. East
OF the Court lies the Bluff Tract. the

also be found the agricultural exhibit,
which promises to surpass anything
Of the kind ever seen in the West.
The principal buildings have been
changed but little except to improve
here and there, and to brighten up and
add a few finishing touches to exter-
iors. M6ye important changes have
been maize in the landscape gardening.
The general plan followed last year
has not been changed but 1t has been
added to and vastly improved. Abost
the Court Of Homer sections Of the
brick walks have been removed and
number of small gardens relieve the
eye and increase the pleasing effect OF
the whole. Tropical plants and now
ers will give brilliant touch OF color
to the scene and supply the necessary
contrast to the white and stately
buildings and the reaches OF green
sward. In the center of the court the
clear waters of the lagoon give back
to view the fairy picture, while the
fountain flashes in the sunlight ana
gaily decorated water-craft glide here
and there.
Rudolph Ulrich, the well-known
landscape artist, has been at work on
the grounds nearly months now,
having a large force of men in his
department. During May he had more
than one hundred men employed, and
in June that number was more than
doubled, as several carloads of trees,
plants, and shrubbery from California,
Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii, are
now arriving. and many men will be
needed to take care of this stuff and
place it in the ground. Many of these
will be strictly native plants, and very
valuable and rare in this latitude,

a Younger SONS success.

From the Springfield Republican.
The case of a younger son is usually
pitied in England, but there was a
noble exception in the case Of the fam
lily of the late Earl of Mansfield, who
died worth some $5,70O,OOO. Viscount
Stormont, the father of the first Earl
Of Mansfield, the great judge, was one
of the poorest lords in Scotland, and
'as poor as Scottish lord" has long
been a by-word in England. This
younger son, William Murray, born in
1905, one of family of twelve penni-
less children, rode off to London on his
pony to attend Westminster school, and
never, it is said, saw his native land
again, but he left an earldom and a
vast fortune to his eldest brothers heir.
The earl who recently died was the
fifth of the title, and the sixth earl is
his brother.

Prevalence of the Living Habit.

Did you ever count up how many
times in the course of day you tell
lie, even though you consider your
self truthful person? You tell a
lie when friend asks if new hat is
becoming, when you praise something
your hostess cooks. and when you say
you had good time, in bidding her
good-by. You must lie or offend a
hundred day, and you naturally pre-
fer to lie. It's effects may be as bad as
those of giving offense, but they are
not so apparent.-Atchison Globe.

The influence of the press, particu-
larry in this country, is immense, and
it is growing year by year, and with
reasonable cooperation and reciproc
ity between the press, the transporta-
ton companies and the commercial
and industrial interests of the country,
there can be no doubt about our SUI
premacy.
AT times there have been periods OF
legislation adverse to the great trans
portation interests of the country, al
most invariably the result of misun-
derstanding of the real situation, and
the hasty legislation of such times has
usually been repealed upon the sober
second thought of the people, for in the
language of our great Lincoln: you
can fool all the people some of the
time, some of the people all the time,
but you can't fool all the people all
the time" There are still some people
who fear that consultations, especial
ly of transportation companies, will
result disastrously to the general in
terests of the country There is one
example to which | wish to call your
attention, and which, | think, each of
you will appreciate Forty-seven years
ago, there was issued an annual pass
over the Central Line of Railroads, be-
tween Buffalo and Boston, and by the
Peoples Line of Steamboats, to New
York; this pass bearing the following
signatures on the back thereof: Eze-
kiel G. Mcintosh, President. Albany
and Schenectady r. r. Co.; Erastus
Corning, President, Utica and Science
tady r. R. Co.; John Wilkinson, Presi-
dent, Syracuse and Utica r. R. Co.;
Henry B. Gibson, President, Rochester
and Syracuse R. R. Co.; Joseph Field,
President, Buffalo and Rochester R. R.
Co.; William Fl. Swift, President, Wes-
tern r. r. Co.; Isaac Newton, Peoples
Line Steamboats,; Job Collamer, Wa
tertown & Rome R. r. Co.
Mr.. e. d. Worcester, Secretary of the
New York Central, says he rode on
ticket of this kind from Albany to Bos-
ton in the summer of 1852, and he re-
members distinctly the signature of
each Of these Presidents. What would
you think if in preparing to attend
your annual meeting you had to write
to eight different persons to secure
transportation from New York to Nj
agara Falls? am sure you appreciate
the fact that it does not require eight
letters to secure such transportation,
nor does it require seven changes of
cars to make the journey as it did in
1852.
