Among the queens aversicns are
coal, gas. tobacco and cats. All her
majesty's fireplaces burn beech logs
only. OF late years electricity has
been sparingly introduced into Wind

light required is still procured from
wax candles. Smoking is strictly for

of the Baltimore G. Ohio railroad con-
tinue, almost the entire interest
charges and the rentals for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1900, will have
been earned by Dec. 81, 1899. This

public. The estimated gross receipts
were S2,S04, 293, the largest for one
month in the history of the company
and an increase of $216,591 over Sep
TENDER, 1898. The net earnings for
September, 1899, were also a record
breaker. being $1,000, 49S, an increase
Of $271, S04 over September. 1898. The
net earnings for the first three months

Cost - a BatfIeshiu.

The total value OF the new battleship
Kearsage with all her stores, ammu-
milton, etc, on board ready for sea is
placed at $5,O00,0O0. The sum invested
in this single vessel would have repre-
scented the cost of a small fleet early
in the century, for then 100000 was a
high price to pay for the construction
of fast and powerful frigate, built OF
wood and armed with twenty four
Founders. The Kearsage displaces as
many tons as dozen frigates of the
first decade of this century.

IL is impossible to suppress the small
boy. He is always saying something.
He was in a crowded Fifth avenue car
with his mamma few days ago and he
looked vainly for seat. His mamma
took a strap, and he chung to her dress.
Out near Soho a fat woman beckoned
and the conductor pulled the bell rope.
When the car stopped she arose slowly.
With wide-open eyes the boy looked at
the vacant space she had left. Here
you are, mamma" he said out loud;
she's left room enough for three or
four of us" The fat woman turned
and looked at the innocent child, but
she didn't hurt him.-Pittsburg News.

jority in 1895. Maryland has swung
back into the democratic column, and
is there to stay. But all that aside
In Ohio, in Iowa, in Nebraska. in
Massachusetts, in Mississippi and in
several other states the demo-
Gratis reaffirmed the Chicago platform,
with special emphasis on the free coin
age plank. In every one of those
states the republican party declared
without qualification for the gold
standard. And still we find silver
republican newspapers" glorying in the
triumph Of the gold standard and Han
naism, indulging in the grossest mis-
representation of Bryan and the party
which he leads, and seeking to justify
themselves before an indignant peo-
pie by, the false and specious plea that
the democratic party has turned it's
back upon silver.
The claim Is made that it is no
longer the paramount issue" with the
democracy. And then they shrek out
their frantic cheers for Mckinley with
whom the paramount internal issue
is how absolutely to destroy silver as
money and eliminate the question from
American politics.
There is just one way to help the
silver cause: That is by putting its
friends into power. Everybody knows
what the attitude Of Mr.. Bryan would
be il elected. He would sign a free
coinage bill without a moments hesi-
tation. Mckinley is moving heaven
and earth to commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard. That
is all the difference, SO far as the
money question is concerned. Are not
these pseudo silver republicans about
ready to lay aside mask that blind
man can see through?

~ HLLDLIKE and bland Is the re-
~ quest General Joubert is said to
have preferred to General White
that he refrain from using lyddite
shells. The same charge cannot be
brought against lyddite that stands
against dumdum bullets. The dumdum

flicts the most horrible of wounds. 1t
cannot be extracted without cutting the

Ing gun cotton for it's base. 1t keeps
for long time without undergoing the
chemical changes to which most such
powders are subject The ordnance
board at Washington has been expert
menting with emmensite, which closely
resembles lyddite, with highly salts
factory results. Emmensite is the in
venton of DIR. Emmens. Much difficulty
has been found in producing and explo-
sive which will burn with the greatest
possible rapidity but which will not de-
tomato in the firing chamber of gun.
A safe explosion is brought about by
rapid, progressive combustion, in
which large volumes Of gas are general
ed so that the pressure behind the pro-
jectile is maintained if not gradually
increased during its passage to the
muzzle of the gun. A defamation is an
instantaneous chemical action in which
all the gases are liberated at once. No
cannon can stand a decorating charge
such as is produced by the firing of dy-
Mantle, nitro-glycerin ana other explo-
sives which are instantly transformed
into gases. Lyddite shells are far
more effective than projectiles charged
with ordinary powder. The extreme
rapidity of combustion produces explo-
sions of great violence. A shell is rent
into greater number of pieces because
of this shattering force, and a greater
number of the enemy are likely to be
struck by the missiles.

Of those silver republicans and mem

aggressive strength of the movement

the restoration Of the white metal can
by any possibility be effected.

has just taken place, the results be-
ing decidedly mixed. In Iowa the re-
publicans have their usual overwhelm-
ing majority. The Iowa republicans
are still vigorously combating the
ghost of the southern confederacy and
no one expected anything different. In
Kentucky the republicans were united
and the democrats divided, and the
result is still in doubt. In Nebraska
the forces opposed to the gold stand
ard and imperialism were united and
won splendid victory. In Ohio the
same elements We're divided and de-
feated, the republicans carrying the
state, as it new appears, by a mere
plurality against the usual majority of
about fifty thousand.

republican vote that 1t wipes out about
one-half OF McKinley's popular ma
