The New Electric Line to wellington
VIII be Built.

On the authority Of Manager Hitler,
of the Q. B. L. & 0. Electric Railway,
the statement is made that the right
of way for an electric line between
06erlin and Wellington has nearly III
been secured and that the grading Of
the road bed will be commenced with
in month, and the track laid ready
for the cars by the first Of October.
Some little difficulty has been ex-
perienced in getting private right Of
way, but now the difficulties have been
overcome and the building OF the road
is assured.
The road will run a short distance
back Of the highway and will probably
enter 0berlin on West College street,
connecting at the center Of town with
the Elyria line.
There is also a rumor here that the
new line from Elyria to Lorain and
North Amherst will be extended to
Amherst and 0berlin 1t is said that
private right of way for the same has
already been secured. ed.-Elyria Re-

why England Is Afraid Of Rnssla.

One important reason why England
ought to assume an offensive attitude
toward Russia, if it were otherwise
desirable for her to do SO, is the weak
ness of her army. A war with Russia
would not be naval war. 1t would
necessarily be a land war, and Eng
land, it is well known with her pres
ent force and her policy of voluntary
enlistments, could not put more than
thirty thousand men into China.
This was asserted only the other MORN
ing in the House of Commons, and the
government did not contradict the
statement. Indeed, it is perfectly
we'll understood that it rests on the
authority of Lord Wolseley himself.
1t is hardly worth while to enlarge
upon the deplorable situation in which
England would find herself if she were
called upon to face Russia with force
of 10000 men. Russia has probably
already many more troops than this in
Manchuria The result of war, then,
between Russia and Great Britain, uu-
dertaken under existing conditions,
would be the total destruction of Brit
ish commerce in China, and the inva-
sion, and possibly the temporary loss,
of India. And in considering the pos
sible effect of such a war we must bear
in mind the attitude of the people of
India towards the imperial govern
ment, which is that Of discomfort, ex-
pressing itself in riots. Surely such
an attitude would be of immense as
sistance to Russia in the invasion that
would Immediately follow the breaking
out of war over China. The facts
which British statesmen are facing are
tern and threatening, and what clam
or of ignorace-an ignorance that may
not be dissipated until its victims are
aroused and informed through the aw.
full surprise which is sure to follow the
first shock of arms.-ITarper's Wheek-

I HOT FIGHT IN KENTUCKY

A short time ago Col. Henri Watterson, in an editorial which appeared in the Louisville Courier Journal, predicted that the opposi- tio1 to Goebel and the regular Dem ocratic ticket would vanish before the election is held in November. The distinguished editor, however, has not been very successful in the role of a prophet and there is req son to believe his latest prediction will fail to pan out, as others have done Wednesday the Democrats of Kentucky who bolted the Goebel ticket met at Lexington and nomi- mated full State ticket, which IS headed by John ! oung Brown for Governor, and Major P. F. Johnson for Lieutenent Governor. Mr. Brown occupied the pubernatorial office number of yesrs ago, and Major Johnston3awas recently the chairman of the Democratic State committee and called together the regular convention which nomina- ted Geobel for governor. The bolt ing faction of Democrats by their opposition may be able to throw the State to the Republicans and realizing ttis fact the regulars are determined to contest every inch Of the ground in the State, and MT Goebel himself will remain on the stump until the day of the election. A matters COW stand the political battle promises to be the hardest ever fought on the soil of old Ken lucky, as number of Democratic leaders of national reputation who are high in the councils of their party have volunteered to visit the State aud make speeches urging Democratic voters to support Geo. bel and put Kentucky in line for the presidential struggle next year New Orleans States.

Dublin Saturday Herald: A detect i've on duty at the Louvre had his at fention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of sey- en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything. After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up a colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- creted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- diately marched off to the police com missary. That functionary found to his amazement that the troup con- sisted of grandmother. three of her daughters and three granddaughters in comfortable circumstances. ane old ladys husband and the husbands of her three daughters were immediately sent for (the youngest ladies of this interesting family are still unmarried1, and declared themselves totally i3nor- ant of the acts of their wives. who they said made frequent trips to Paris from their home in the suburbs, and often brought home many pretty things; but they assured the commls- sary that they (the husbands) had no notion that these had been come by otherwise than by the usual method of purchase The commissaire. taking the social position of the 'klepto- maniacs" into consideration, has all lowed them their liberty upon heavy bail

MISTAKEN TIPPING.
Americans Abroad Frequently Pay Too
 Much for Services.

Much for Services.
 An American recently arrived in London from southern city, and be- ing in haste to continue his journey to Paris, hired a eabman to take him on one of his errands Handing the man two shilling piece, he directed him to 9 certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes, expecting the horse to start. At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspectin tne coin, which was double the usual fare. What is the matter?9 asked the in- dignant traveller. This seems to be a very small coin for so long distance" was the surly response. The Ameri- can smiled grimly and remarked that the eabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard. As this is the head quarters of the police, the driver per eeiVed that the American was not man to be sWindled "I'H drive you to New Bond street" he remarked promptly, If you will get in, sir. Wait moment" said the American. T want you to look me over carefully. Now tell me" he continued, what it was in my appearance that led you to think me an idiot. Was it my hat or my collar, or the cut of my overcoat? l have already paid you double fare for the distance l have asked you to go, but I'll give you as much more if you will tell me what there is in my gen. eral makeup that encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me-" The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un- comfortable. T took you for an Am erican, sir" he said, and thought I could work another shilling out of you. Here is one of the shilIings you gave me and I am ready to drive you to New Bond street" The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare, and he ought not 10 have paid in advance. By violating the ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs, he encouraged the eabman to swindle him. The most judieious course for a traveller in foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in it, and not throw away money by oyerpaying cabmen and tip- ping servants too generously.-Yo Companion.

The guards at Joliet, (nl.) peniten-
tiary have been armed with mauser
rifles carrying dunn dun bullets The
only excuse offered for the use of
these bullets in warfare is that, in
meeting a charge of overwhelming
numbers of sayages, it is necessary to
have bullet that will produce shock
enough to stop the rush of any man it
hits. There is no such emergency to
be met in shooting a runaway convict
in the back The use of dum-dum
bullet in such case is simple bar
barism, without the excuse of neces-
sity.
