20 warn us that II is nobody's business
that William Waldorf Astor is become
British citizen. And in the sense that
nobody has right to quarrel with him
over the exercise Of his free will. il is
nobody's business. But that the act
should be subject of comment, at
least. is certainly not strange and the
subject is open to public discussion for
the reason that 1t is to be classed as
unusual. 1t is very rare thing for the
citizen OF the American republic to
voluntarily change his nationality and
choose to become the citizen of a mon

A Great English Statesman's
Secret.

The secret of a celebrated Eng
fish statesman's long life was his
systematic way of eating. Every
bite Of food was chewed thirty
times before swallowing. The re-
suit was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women
bolt their food, and eat things
which were never intended to be
eaten. They become costive, have
a bad complexion, lose flesh, are
irritable and nervous, and the first
thing they know they are "played
out" It is gratifying to know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
cures stomach troubles. It is a
purely vegetable medicine that has
stood the test Of many years. It
cures cases which seem to be hope
less. Sufferers from any disorder
of stomach, liver or bowels should
try it.

The decision of the court of
arbitration in the case in dispute
between Great Britain and Ven
ezuela has been given. Venezuela
gets all she can reasonably claim
and Great Britain gets a clear title
to a slice Of inland territory. The
great OFinoco river is Venezuela's.
This question, which at one time
threatened to embroil us in trouble
with Great Britain, and caused
the most intense excitement
throughout the country, has been
peacefully adjudicated and settled
by arbitration. There was a fear
full amount Of jingoism abroad in
the land, when President Cleve-
land spoke out in meeting on the
Monroe doctrine. Even the usual
ly level-headed William Henry
Eustis, Of Minneapolis, was SO
completely carried away by en-
thusiasm that while suffering from
a fit of temporary political lunacy,
actually proposed three cheers for
Grover Cleveland, and good old
Governor Roger Allan, Of this
state, expressed a willingness, if
war was inevitable, to shoulder a
musket in defense of the flag of his
adopted country. Now, when one
looks back over the three or four
years that have interviewed since
then, he wonders how in the world
anybody could get excited over a
little, thing like the Venezuelan
boundary.

The Big Salary That New
York Houses Must Meet.
The salaries-of actors and actresses
vary so much that no fixed prices can
be quoted. 1t may suffice to say that
the salary list of a stock house for per-
formers will not come to less than ST.
600 a week, and is often considerably
more
The salaries in the %'sfront'' are about
as follows: Business manager, $50 to
SIS a week; box Office man, $50; as
sistant, $E5 two doorkeepers, So to $12
each; head usher. So; other pshers
(three or four), 81; Autograph men
(two), SIS; night Waterman, SO.
The salaries of the attaches Of the
stage NE all fixed at union rates. Fur
thermore. the manager must employ
three men on 4 side-that is, three
stage hands on each side of the stage,
including the stage carpenter and his
assistant-and two fymen, men who
work the curtain and drops up in the
''fies," the regions above the stage.
The union rates are as follows: Stage
carpenter, $50 a week; assistant, $25;
electrician. $25; assistant, $16; prop
erty man, $25; assistant, $15; back
doorkeeper. 81; stage hands, 1 80 for
each performance, $3.50 per day for

A Story of European Diplomacy and
Our Civil War;.

A Story of European Diplomacy and
Our Civil War.
The Outlook gives an interesting
story of the Spanish administration,
when, during our civil war, the Emperor
Napoleon formed the ingenious plan Of
uniting European nations in a change
Of the international law governing
blockades. The admiralty law Of the
world at present extends the jurisdic-
tion Of any nation for one marine league
from its shores. If, therefore, any block
ade runner could get within three miles
Of Jamaica, Cuba or Porto Rico, he
was safe from any interference from
our blockading fleet.
Napoleon proposed that, instead Of
one league, the limit of local sovereignty
should be extended to three leagues
from shore, and he persuaded the Span
ish minister to come into his plan.
Such an extension Of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered the opera
tions of our blockading fleets. All the
negotiations were conducted with great
secrecy, but orders were sent from
Spain to the West Indies, instructing
authorities there to extend threefold the
range of their dominion over the sea.
These orders had already gone when
Horatio Perry, the American secretary
of legation, got wind of the treachery
of our ally.
Mr.. Perry told his wife. She told the
Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told
her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the
queen sent for Mr.. Perry and asked
what it was all about.
"You are injuring your best
friends" said he after explaining the
matter, sat the solicitation of this in
triguer whom you have reason. to be-
lieve is your enemy"
The queen regent sent for her prime
minister and i~nterrogated him. He re-
piled that her majesty had signed the
order on such a day.
"But no one told me WHAT it meant"
said Queen Isabella. sNo one told me
that this is a heavy blow to my Ameri-
can allies"
No n had told herl The minister
was sorry if her majesty disliked it,
but it was too late to help it. Why was
it too late2 Because a steamer had gone
to the West Indian feet with the orders
which changed one league to three.
Then said Isabella, cit is not too
late for me to accept your designations. +"
But the don did not want to re-
sign, and the other senores dons did not
want to resign. So they found a fast
steamer to take out orders resembling
the other orders, and the blockade was
maintained for the next year.

JACKSON AND KRUGER.

Dom Paul has the characteris-
tics of Gen. jackson. He smokes
his corncob pipe just as Old Hick-
DRY did, in presence Of company.
He will receive any old kind Of a
diplomat in his shirt sleeves, hav-
ing not the least regard for con-
ventionalities. He believes the
world is fiat andsso did jackson.
Nevertheless jackson was a great
man and so is Dom Paul, but
neither Of them could have ever
passed a civil service examination
for a minor clerkship in any de-
partment Of state or federal gov
eminent. jackson whipped the
British at New Orleans, and when
he became president cleaned out
the old crowd of office holders and
provided places for his friends and
supporters, throttled the first
attempt at secession, came very
nearly hanging Calhoun, upset the
old national bank and revolution
lied the fiscal system Of the coun-
try. He was an old school Pres
byterian, and Dom Paul is a rock
ribbed and copper-bottomed CAL
vanist. He goes to war with
Great Britain, having the same
implicit trust in God that was old
Oliver Cromwell's strong hold.
Crust in God and keep your
powder dry was divers admon-
ition to his followers. "Trust in
God, but let your aim be true"
says Dom Paul to the Beers. Eng
land has flushed a covey of fanat-
ical sharpshooters in South Africa.
The Beers may die, but they will
never surrender. They are tough
customers to deal with. They be-
lieve that the Transvaal belongs to
the Lord for the use Of the Lords
people and they firmly believe that
they are the Lords people, When
any government strikes at a people
of that kind, it disturbs a hornets
nest. In this wal there can be no
doubt that England will overpower
the Beers, but at what a terrible
cost Of life. The result will be
that England will have the ter
ritory Of the Transvaal, but not
the people. All that may be left
Of them will pack up and start on
another Groot Tack, to found
another state in some other part Of
Africa. They are that kind of
people. They never can be brought
into harmony with modern civil
ization.
