Of it. He can allude to the trust as a

all semblance to humanity. Without diff
Guilty, however, he will indemnity these re-
mains. 1t is scarcely necessary to add
that they will prove to be those of son of

that he never was so we'll paid and that
not only all of the necessities but many of
the Injuries of life are within his reach.
Nor will the spellbinder feel himself call
ed upon to say that the trust has taken
wings, though this is fact. There are no
trusts. The necessity for them has ceased
to exist. Corporate securities are no long
er placed in the hands of trustees, go that
laws may only be nominally complied

AN AMERICANS PRIVILEGE.
To Call at the White House and Shake
the Presidents Hand.

Baltimore Herald" Ind
At the White House reception on We'd
nesday night President Mckinley broke
the Misunderstanding record, having shaken
hands with 1916 visitors in the brief space
of one hour and forty-fve minutes, this
being of the rate of forty-six per minute.
1t is freely asserted by the hand-shak-
ing statisticians at the Executive Mansion
that it eclipses all past exploits in the same
line. 1t is stated that at Wednesday
nights reception Secretaries Hay, Long
and Gage started out to keep up with the
Pres dent, but that, after twenty minutes,
Secretary Gage broke down, and in few
minutes the other two cried "enough!"
Since the days of Jackson the hand
shaking of the President has been the in
alienable privilege of the American peo-
pie. Before that the custom lacked crys'
utilization. Washington would not shake
hands with callers. He and Martha
Washington stood on raised dais, and
people walked around them and court
esied. Benjamin Harrison was inclined
to abolish the custom when he became
President, put the people would net have
it. They clamorously insisted on the per-
petuation Of what they intended should be
to the Chef Executive of this nation re-
n,;ndar that he is one of and responsible
to the people.
And this is right. There is no divinity
hedging in President of the United
States. Aud yet, who is there that will
not sympathize with President Mckinley
after he has shaken hands with q multi
tude at the rate of forty-six to the minute?
What arnica, what poultice, what balm in
Gllead can soothe the hand that has been
shaken 1916 times in an hour and forty
five minutes?

AcETYLENE GAS.
How n Canadian MetalIurstst Acci-
dentnlIy Stumbled On To
Good Thing.

The facts relating to the discovery
of actylene gas are interesting. 1t APP
pears that some years ago Thomas l..
Wilson, of ST. Catharines, Ont, was
smelling for metallurgical purposes,
says the Western Electrician. From
time to time he used good deal of rock
salt in his furnace stock, and also lime
stone as a flux. Whenever these two
materials were fused together the Stag
produced dirty grayish substance
wholly unlike anything else he had ever
seen. For weeks he noticed this sub
stance without giving more than pass
ing attention to it, dumping it into the
stream upon the bank of which he had
built his furnace. One day curious
thing occurred and at a time when the
pile of Stag had become so large that
it's top rose above the surface of the
water. A minute or two after dumping
the Stag as usual into the stream, some
of it going under and part remaining
above the water in n red-hot state, the
sizzling and steaming was followed by
a bright burst of fame. The next time
Mr.. Wilson used rock salt and lime
stone the blaze again appeared over the
Stag after it had been cast into the
river, and, it being at night, he was
much struck by the brilliant white
light produced. The next time that he
had batch of the queer grayish resi-
due to dispose of he did not waste it, but
saved it and poured over it some water
for experiment. He held a lighted
match over the pile, when instantly
there was white, glowing flame.

them salaries amounting to more than the
Ggues they had named, providing they
would forsake their Legitimate practices
and become special mounted guard over
the same territory they were then terroriz-
ing, with their present leaders to remain
in command. The overtures were at once
communicated to the various outlaw bands
constituting the baleful federation, with
the result that the great majority immed-
lately joined their leaders in compact to
serve the government.
The outcome of the establishment of
this crops has been nothing short OF phe-
nomenal. Naturally, among so many,
there we're some who preferred to continue
in their former awless vocation rather
than become useful servants of society,
but with their former comrades to contend
with this obdmate minority was speedily
exterminated Thus, for years past,
thanks to the untiring vigilance of this re-
generated faction, the vast rural districts
of Mexico have been almost free from the
encroachments of organized bands of rob-
bers. Their advent was the signal for q
new era of prosperity thorouhout Northern
Mexico, and the erstwhile prosecuted
haciendados and mine owners speedily
came to entertain feeling Of security IN
der the protection of their old time foes.

Bryan-Altgeld combination they were
denounced by Southern newspapers and
rottenegged by mobs. If Altgeld had
come South about that time he would, no
doubt, have been treated in the same
way. But he has become the political
chum and close companion of William j.
Bryan, aud is, therefore, transformed into
a statesman. They go to the gatherings,
now being held by the odds and
ends of all political parties, that are pre-
pairing to make Bryan their candidate for
President in 1900. Itlooks like the ticket
may be Bryan and Altgeld. Why not!
They hold the same views, and are both
a,complisbed agitators. The Southern
Democrat is tickle and possesses a strong
stomach. He is willing to shout himself
hoarse for any body or anything for place
and power. SOIL it is Bryan and AltgeId,
Southern Democracy will be wildly enthu-
siastic for the ticket.

LIKED THE SMOKE.
1t Reminded Her OF Her Husband
While Fighting In the
Philippines.

One bright afternoon lately pretty
little woman of 30 or Whereabouts, with
rather q wistful expression of counte'
nance, boarded Fourteenth street
open car away uptown. She took place
on the last seat of the cara smokers
seat. A man who happened to be rid
ing in the same seat knew, without be-
ing himself acquainted with the little
woman, that her husband Is a regular
army officer, who has been in the thick
of the hard soldering in the Philip
pines for the past year. A few squares
below the point at which she got on
the car, says the Washington Post, a
man she knew boarded 1t, and, recog-
nizing her, took seat alongside of her.
lie had just lighted big, comfortable
looking cigar before getting on. After
the greetings, he said to her:
"You are on a smokers seat. Won't
this cigar annoy you?"
"On the contrary, that is why took
one of these Seats" she replied.
That's peculiar" said the man.
you must like smoke, then.?"
81 love it, she said. ut brings Jack
bit nearer home, you know. He is
such terrific smoker, and 1 do so mis-.
the smell of his cigar smoke around the
house-you really cant imagine how
much I miss it. take ride on one of
these rear seats every morning, just to
smell the tobacco smoke"
There's a Woodworking, heat-tor-
tured, homesick chap in officers clothes
out yonder in those turbulent islands
who's in luck, and who may or may not
know what a faithful and lovable little
woman he's got for a wife" thought
the man who happened to overhear this
little talk.
