There is one point in which Chinese Ell
quette so often absurd, is much more
sensible than ours, says the Youths Com
panion That is in its failure to regard
the imputation of mature age as a discred-
il to either man or woman, or on the other
hand, the imputation of youthfulness as a
compliment to persons of either sex. An
example of Chinese politeness connected
with the visit of the Prince is amusing,
as it reflects on our own false notion of
the complimentary in such matters.
The German prince and princess were
visiting a notable mandarin, one of whose
first questions to the prince-this being an
invariable matter of Chinese politeness-
was:
How old are your"
"A little more than thirty-sIx," answer
ed the prince, smiling.
"Indeedi' said the mandarin. Your
highness appears fifty"
The mandarin then turned to the inter
preter-Herr Volght, a German-and in
quired the princess age. She answered
"Thirty-two" The Interpreter interpret
ed, and the mandarin made a remark ir
Chinese evidently intended to be compli-
mentary. The Interpreter blushed uneas-
lily, and hesitated to translate the remark
The prince saw the difficulty and laugh,
ingly commanded
"Out with it, Voightn'
He says" the interpreter then trans
lated to the princess, that your highness
looks like sixty"
He had meant it well, and, of course, the
princess had sense enough not to take il
i'll.

They Couldn't Help Him.

One of the hotel clerks, says the Detroit
Free Press, tells this as happening when
the eclectic school of physicians were hold
ing their convention here:
There was bright-eyed old codger
hustled into the office, registered from an
Iowa town. and he at once asked me if all
the strangers he saw there were preach
ers. Doctors, I informed him. He drop
ped his valise stepped TO the nearest of
the eclectics and inquired, Air you doc
tor?' The doctor pleaded guilty.
Good! I jest heerd there was a hull
wad O. you here
Yes, were all DOCTORS as others be-
gan to gather around.
Wall, you make quite a herd I must
say, when you're all punched on the same
range. But what l want ter ask is, do you
known durn thing bout blackleg?'
About what?" inquired a scholarly
looking eclectic from Massachusetts.
Backlog
:" I must confess that do not. How does
it affect the patient?
" Don't affect patients, but it's gol ding
ed hard on steers
After much talking it simmered down
TO the fact that none of the physicians
knew how to cure blackleg.
Mighter knowed it, snapped the dis
appointed cattleman Got a few thousan
O. the same kind of plugs a doctorin' out
in my state The huh tarnal bunch of EN-
put together don't know enough to cure
one steer with the blackleg. "

Thc Conundrum Market.

People wonder who makes the slang Of
the day" said a Snowman who has a good
many irons in the fire, according to the
New York Sun. Did you ever wonder
where the conundrums come from? The
conundrum has been under the weather,
so to speak, for the last few years 1t
used to be the short cut TO a laugh. But
you don't hear it any more except at the
MINISTRIES. II you have been to a Niger
show lately you must have noticed that
the endmen don't work overtime on conun-
drums like they did. The best endmen al
ways worked up their own conundrums,
but there used to be fellows who wrote
conundrums for a living. l have paid as
high as So for a hot one, but l haven't
heard or read a s. conundrum for five
years. And it has been some time since I
had "a call from "a conundrum builder, I'M
ill an old-timer came in the other day
and acted uneasy. l saw he was run
over al the heel, and ! tried TO be kind
He shifted his attitude so frequently how
ever, he made me nervous, and finally 1
says TO him What is IL? Don't hold on
to It, Let It CO.
Then he handed me a strip of paper
about a yard long ON which was written
this
T. why will the Mckinley admiulstra-
ton be a difficult one to remove? Be
cause is has taken Root
81 bought IL. but just notice tho sign on
the door as you 80 out"
IL read:
no conundrums to-day"

Let All Play Ball.

Bill Jackson. the hero of Willimantic
has new story of FL Caney. II is about
the Twelfth Regulars, of which Bill was
one says the Willimantic Comm Jour
tack. Capt Clarke, who was a fine soldier
and who seemed never to sleep, hurried
back from the trenches to where the men
of the company slept and cried:
ITO arms! Get up! They are coming at
usw
One or two men sprung to their feet
and a few sat up and drowsily rubbed their
eyes. The rest slept peacefully on, dream
ing of home perhaps. They were dead
tired. Then Capt. Clarke began to swear
we will hope that in the excitement of the
occasion the Angel Gabriel failed TO set it
down against the captain-and 10 go from
man TO man, kicking each in turn.
I'VE are attackedL Rally at the
trenches" he shouted.
But still the weary, fagged-out men were
slow. They reused, but seemed unable to
shake off the meshes of slumber which
clogged their brain.
For Gods sake, boys, wake up"' cried
the captain, and then with a sudden in
spiral ton, he shouted, Company F, play
BALI
That settled it. The men were wide
awake in an instant and, led by their cap
tain. every man dashed for the trenches
TO the relief of the detail already there
and the enemy was thrust back, as history
will tell US

He lives in Columbus, and is known TO
have thousands But his reputation by
no means would justify his being called
a phLanthropist, says the Ohio State
Journal.
A week or two ago he went down in
the country to his old home" on his first
Sunday there he went to the old church
near the mill Memories of the Sunday
mornings Of his boyhood days flooded him,
days when he sat in the hot church and
listened to-the boys shouting while swim
ming in the old millpond. His heart on
this particular Sunday morning was CRATE
ful for all things, and especially the priv
tlege of attending the old church again.
At the conclusion of the sermon the min
lister asked the congregation for con-
tri5ution to pay off the church indebted
ness. When the steward reached the
old Columbus miser. whose reputation for
stinginess had long been known in the
little hamlet, the sanctimonious church
official was somewhat startled by being
addressed:
How much is the entire indebtedness
on the church?"
Upon being told, the would-be philan-
thropist. before the eyes of the congrega-
ton, took out his checkbook and foun-
tain pen and wrote a check for the fun
amount. The steward" waited until the
check was safely deposited in the basket
before continuing the collection
When the church was dismissed the peo-
pie fairly buzzed with the excitement of
discussing the payment of the church
debt by Mr. Blank, the millionaire from
Columbus"
And no wonder. The debt was $3.50.

At the Mormon headquarters in London
il is stated that the Mormon troubles in
the South are partially ascrEbed 10 their
recent successes, but chiefly 10 their po-
litical opponents, who wish to see Utah
reduced again to the position of a terri
tory" If The Mormous in London, or
elsewhere. krow of any means or process
by which Utah could be reduced again to
the position of territory, they would
confer a favor upon a considerable per-
oentage of the voting population of the
United States by making it known. There
may be some other states besides Utah
notably Nevada-which have no business
enjoying the privileges of statehood, and
which should never have been made
states. But. having been admitted to fun
privileges. there is rot, so far as is known,
any means by which such states can be
reduced TO territories.

end which are now on foot, are carried
out. The proposition for the celebration
of that day in honor of the memory of
the famous chief justice of the Supreme
Court who was a member of the court
for thirty-four years, comes from the Hi
nois State Bar Association by which it
was unanimously adopted and its dele
gates to the American Bar Association

It has been proposed that international
matches between American and British
rihemen be renewed. Some twenty years
ago these matches were very popular, and
on the ranges at Creedmoor and Wimble-
don some great target shooting was done,
Both countries have made advances in
military rifles and ammunition since those
days, hence it is probable that new scores
made In an international match this year
or next would be record makers. An
American team competent to meet the
world at the butts could he selected from
among the best shots at Sea Girt during
the coming meet; AMI a team so selected
would he sure 10 have on it several Savan-
nah men.

THE NEW CEMETERY MATTER.

The question of purchasing land for an
other cemetery is just at present quiescent.
but it may be revived at the pleasure of
those who are engineering the movement.
1t is very generally believed that the new
cemetery proposition is in the interest of
selling to the city a tract of land, rather
than in response TO any demand for anoth-
err cemetery.
Without discussing the adaptabllity of
the proposed site as burial place, or the
cost of laying off and preparing the land
consideration which should control the
board of aldermen in decid-
ing the matter when it comes
before them is that which should
oontrof men in deciding their individual af-
fairs. It may be stated thus: Is the pro
posed expenditure necessary; can the city
not get along with what IL has for a long
time, and thus avoid the expenditure?
Laurel Grove is well situated for GENE
terry purposes, and it is off the line of the
present growth Of the city. The city owns
a large tract of land dots No. IS, 50 and 500
along the Ogeechee road, not adjoining TIE
cemetery, but near enough to it to be made
an annex TO Laurel Grove Next to these
lois is Battery Park which doubtless
could re secured from its present owners
the street railroad company, at a reasona-
bic price. In addition the city could secure
the improved properly lying between the
cemetery and the Ogeechee road. The lands
mentioned would permit of a considera be
extens on of Laurel Grove.
When it is remembered that a great
many of the interments from the city are
made in the Catholic cemetery and in Eon,
adventure, il is within bounds to suppose
that with the addition to Laurel Grove sug-
gesttd above, there would be no need for a
new city burying ground for twenty &c
twenty-five years. A new cemetery would
mean the expenditure of at least 500, 0oC
for lands and improvements, to say moth,
! ing OF the cost of keeping two cemeteries
since Laurel Grove cannot be closed.
No political or personal influences should
be powerful enough to lead an alderman &c
! advocate or vote for the new cemetery
measure which has been so persistently
urged upon the attention Of the hoard.

Mr.. ]. Hale Sypher of Washington has
bobbed up long enough to say to the New

il is talking about when 1t undertakes to
show that the part "Favorite Sons" play
ed in the war with Spain was a great
one He says that there were enough
trained soldiers to fill every responsible
place in the army when the war was de-
clared but they We're not appointed be-
cause they didn't have political backing
They counted for nothing in politics. They
were side-tracked, and the places of honor
and profit given to men who had a po-
litical pull. who could pack committees and
conventions. The political FOUNDERS were
preferred 90 trained and experienced SOL
diers. Mr.. Sypher is a lifelong RepubH-
can, and that makes the question he has
raised with the Tribune all the more in
teresting. 1t may be that he intends to
air his views on this subject in the ma
tional campaign next year.

Was there ever greater failure than
that which Gen. Mercler made before the
Dreyfus courtmartial? He had boosted
that he would prove Dreyfus guilty. He
proved nothing He made charges and
displayed an exceedingly bitter feeling
against the prisoner, but he made so bad
a showing that even his friends hung
their heads in shame The impression he
made on the audience was apparent from
the fact that he was Kissed as he left
the witness stand. And he was the star
witness of the prosecuuonl Unless other
Witnesses make a better showing for the
prosecution It will hardly be necessary
for Dreyfus to set up defense. His in
nocenee will appear from the weakness of
the prosecution

Cotton took a smart jump last week.
Now If it will only keep on taking smart
jumps until a fair price is reached the cot
ton farmers will have reason for feeling
that prosperity has reached them as well
as other classes of producers. There are
good reasons for the advance in price.
The reports from good many parts of
the cotton belt indicate that the yield is
likely to be considerably below what it

Mr. Harrity, formerly chairman of the

something of a joker. He is quoted as
saying that the boom that has been started
for Judge Van Wyck for the presidential
nomination of the Democratic party has
carried CONSERVATION TO the supporters of
Mr.. Bryan. The Van Wyck boom hasn't
sufficient proportions yet TO be perceptible
outside Of Saratoga, and even there it isn't
easy to find.
