p,p,,r CHANGE HIS MIND.

Tho Boston Herald is badly puZzleu. IL
appears that william Dudley Foulke' OF
Indiana, states that when the cvi-ser'
vice reformers visited President Mchin-
Low. something more than a year ago, 10
ascertain his intentions toward the civ'I
service. he assured them that. II any
n,aces were taken from the classified list,
he intended to add great many more to
IL than had been excluded. The TACT
proved to be, however, says the Herald
,hat IN the Presidents late order several
thousands are taken from the list, and not
one s added. Then our Boston contem'
porary goes on to suggest that 1t would
be interesting to know what changed 'he
Presidents mind on this point and leit
BIN 10 labor solely for the spoilsmen'
without a single crumb of comfort 10
those who were striving to purify TIE
civil service of the country.
If the Herald will SO off in cool cor
ner and take a quiet think. it Will, we
imagine. have little difficulty in straight
ening itself out. The Herald's troubie
seems to be that it cannot see that Mr..
Foulke took the President too seriously
and that II has not refreshed its memory
on the Presidents record.
Mr.. Mckinley has a nice way of prom
ssing what he thinks will please the par
ticular audience he happens to be ad-
dressing, and an anything but nice way
Of breaking his promises when partisan
interests and his party bosses demand
that he should do so. our own belief is
that he never changed his mind at all, be-
cause he never had a mind not to go over
TO tho spoilsmen. and we think the story
Of the Ohio State Republican Convention
readily explains why he went over FOR
mally just when he did.

The New York Chief of Police asserts
that ne will be present at the prize-hght
between Fitzsimmons and Jenries to-
night. and that he will allow only love

the spirit and letter of the law are car"
ried out. This warning will come Win
nm UNPLEASANT sound TO the sporting ira
ternity. but for our part We shah NOT
put too much faith in 1t. Time ana aga"
we have read such threats from those
whose duty II was to stop bioody eAn''

nevertheless. were pulled Off" Indeed
I, looks as II the legal ingenuity Of somo
States Is absolutely incapable OF oheCB-
ing the evil, or rather that the wish 10
check Il is lacking.
Virginia has been peculiarly exempt
from this brutal sport, though there were
n few fights in some Of our eastern couh-
ties not many StdiS ~oN'
ture was evidently not a sporting body
for during the session OF 1S9o-'~ u pass
ed a law making prize-fghting felony.
and prescribing therefor a penalty Oh
from one 10 FIVE years in the penitentiary.
Instead OF using the term 'prize-hght
in referring TO the crime. the law was
made applicable to "pugiiistic encount-
org" And this expression is defined In
the act to mean any voluntary fight or
personal encounter by blows, by means
of the fists or otherwise, whether with
or without gloves, between two or more
men for money, or for prize, or for any
thing of value, or upon the result OF
which money, or other things of value,
are bet or wagered.
AS we understand this statute, we do
not see how IT could possibly be evaded,
nor do we recall any instances where 1t
has been hagrantly violated.
The coming fight in New York Will IN
some respects be a novel one. Fitzsim-
mons will weigh only 156 pounds, while
his adversary will fight at 30. This dis
parity of avoirdupos in itself indicates
that something more than "love taps
will be struck. or that there viii be a
very poor exhibition of pugilistic skill.

DIR. Blackford, superintendent or the
Western State Hospital for Insane, has
been making a canvass of all the coun-
ties and towns to investigate the pup
lshed account going the rounds that
there are over two hundred insane in
the tails that cannot get into the insu-
tuition for the insane. He has heard
from the sheriffs of fifty counties, and
finds one white man who could not be
gotten into State hospital on account
of the smallpox, three waiting TO be
admitted and several about being sent
for by hospital guards. The report,
he finds, is greatly exaggerated, and
particularly as regards the white iu-
sane.-The Stanton Spectator.
Possibly the report referred TO is exag-
gerated, but there can be no doubt, we
think, that there are many insane in the
state OF whose existence the sheriffs
Rave no official knowledge. What we
mean is that the crowded condition of
the asylums, or hospitals. as they are
now called. is so well known that friends
OF many insane persons have not taken
any steps TO have those persons adjudged
insane. But let il once be made known
that the State will provide for all her
insane. and il will be found that the
number for whom admission Is sought
is large.

Hot.

(Written for the Dispatch.)
The sun is like fiery lance,
The awning fringes culver.
The boys have shed their summer
pants
And HE'D them TO the river;
The shaky rising of the heat
Is seen around the Stceple,
And on the shady side the street
Are most the clever people.
The flies are flying everywhere,
Our ice is almost warm,
We rubber-neck into the air
To find a thunderstorm.
How sultry is the red-hot air!
How do we long for fall
How binding is the sunshine glare!
How lazy are we all.

Last year the State of New Jersey re-
ceived in franchise taxes the handsome
sum of sS31, 9il.7S. A considerable increase
is expected this year, and the total sum
will probably reach $1,OcJ,OOO. One of the
largest Taxpayers on this account is the
United States Leather Company, whose
bill is slO.OO5 per annum. Another is the
Intel national Silver Company, and an
other the Federal Steel Company, each
of which pays $3.50. The American
Sugar Refining Company pays $,iOO; the
Tinplate Company $3.50, the National
Biscuit Company $3.50; the Continental
Tobacco Company S6,S6i. The assessment
upon the American Tobacco Company IS
not given in the New York Herald, Uom
which We quote, but the rate seems to
be s425 on each $l,OOO,O0O of capital stock
issued.

Samuel J. Tildens famous country seat
Greystone, In Yonkers, Wcstchester coun-
ty. n. Y, was sold at auction Wednes-
day for Sl71 800 The sale was the result
of n partition suit instituted by the New
York Public Library, Aston, Lenox' aho
Tilden foundations, against George II.
Tilden and other relatives of the great
LAWYER. and was ordered by the supreme
Court. The property was bought BY
Samuel Untermeyer, the New York law
YER. who denies a report that he made
the purchase on behalf of club, and says
he intends to have the place arranged
for his own occupancy. Mr. Illdehs
town house, in Creamery Park. New
York, was sold not long ago, IT will be
remembered, also for partition. Anent the
two sales. the New York Herald says:
at is not q little remarkable That on
the day the orty-second-street reservoir
was put into the hands of contractors
for demolition TO erect library, largely
through the beneficence of Mr.. Tilden, his
country home should have been sold 10
one who is so conspicuously connected
with the new financial regime. Mr.. Til
denis place in history will be fixed by
the future historian, and it will be
conspicuous one; but the homes he made
noteworthy throughout the country nave
,ccent1v passed into the hands of men
in whom he was a stranger. 1t is not a
new experience The material monuments
we rear are temporal, but the invisible
ones are eternal"

The officials of the State Department
at Washington are puzzled over the fall
ure of Mr.. Bellany stOrer our Min
lister to Spain, to report his whereabouts.
There was much disappointment thst he
was not at Madrid last Saturday 10 pre-
sent his credentials 10 the Queen Regent
at the same hour that tho Duke Of ARGOS.
the Spanish Minister presented his at
the White House. 1t had been arranged
that he should thus be on hand and act
in order that the formal restoration %
relations between the United States and
Spain might take place all around sinful
taneousIy. But Storer has not yet
turned up. lie was heard from at Paris
on his way to Madrid but since then
no word has been obtainable from, or
about. him. 1t Is feared, officially, that
he has been taken ill., or that some ac-
cident has befallen him in some out-of-
the-way place, Can it be that he has
fallen by the waysde in the more ordi-
nary manner to which the expression IS
applied? Has he paid too many visits for
his health to the Moulin Rouge? Has
he looked too long upon the wine when
IL is red? We await ultimate news OF
the whereabouts of Mr. Storcr with in

NO INCREASE IN RATES.

The Aetna Life Insurance Company
mas mot increased it's rates non REDUCED
the commissions paid to agents; the rea-
son is that it does not require so m I, 4
money to run the home office.
Taking the average rate of ten leading
Companies at age twenty-five on the
Twenty Payment Life plan we find that
the premiums average S292.63 for ten
thousand dollar policy, or $5,952.60 for
the twenty years. The Aetna's Fifteen
Payment Life ut the same age costs
$297.20 or "a, 45S for the fifteen years
the difference in premium charge for the
fIlll term being 81, 1880, equal to divi-
dend of SO per cent. ON the annual prem
iums for the whole premium period after
the first two years. The comparison cor
responds with this for other ages.
The Aetna still pays the insured good
dividends and is the only Company do
ing business i'm this country that has paid
an increasing dividend each year for
twenty-six consecutive years, including
the year 1899
When first class agents are making
contracts for 1900 lit might be well to
consider the Aetna. ]. ID. Boushall,

So John kept on hoeing and laughing
and whistling and the hoe travelled SO
fast that he could hardly keep up with
it. He followed it up with his hands
on the handle and before you could say
Jack Robinson he had hoed ten long
rows. and when Mr.. Farwel came up

John had finished the job and was blow

John had chased the hoe so hard that

SOME POINTERS REGARDING
FRA NIX NESS.


Frankness is truthfulness, and it is
only step from absence Of franl1ness to
positive mtruthfulness. 1t is one of the
nrst lessons that boys and girls must
learn who hope to be happy and beloved
men and women. Fortunately many
young people are perfectly frank 10y ma
ture but more are inclined to disguise
their little weaknesses or mistakes or pre-
JUDGES by ways and words that while
not strictly Umtruthful. are decidedly
lacking in frankness. Perhaps j can give
you no better idea of all that frankness
means III life than to quote from an. old
serapbook that came into my possession
the other day. The clipping says:
BE frank with the world. t'rankness
as the offspring of honesty and courage
Say what you mean to do on every occa-
sion and take it for granted that you
mean to do just what is right Ii Il
Friend asks you favor you should grant
1T If it is reasonable; if it is not tell him
plainly why YOU cannot comply. You
viii wrong HMM and wrong yourself by
equiyocation Of any kind. Never do a
wrong thing to make friend or keep
one; the man who requires you to do SO
IS dearly purchased and at a sacrifice
You will find it the plan which wears the
best. Above adj, do not appear to others
what you are mot If you have any
fault to find with any ONE tell him, not
others, of what you complain There is
no more dangerous experiment than that
Of undertaking to do one thing to mans
face and another behind = S back. We
Should live, act and speak 'out OF DOORS
as the phrase is and say and do what we
are willing should be known by all men.
In Your effort to be frank do not 20
around telling people of their fauts, for
the gentle person refrains from criticism,
and it is just as easy to be frank about
telling person of his good qualities. One
little act of deceit usually requires sever
al others to brace it up; SO lack of frank
ness at enc time may lead one into many
untruths thereafter. BE frank when you
speak, but be discreet in speech. Hold
ing ONES tongue is a rare virtue and
avoids much trouble.
