Sheldon and His Perfect Paper.

We don't suppose there will be any
great financial profit in a week of The
Topeka Daily Capital, edited by the
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, for twenty
Ave cents, but it will be pretty expert
ment, we trust more than pretty,
which will be watched with interest
We trust there are already other jour
nails whose aim is as high as Mr..
Sheldon's, to put nothing in that Jesus
would not approve advertisements as
we'll as news reports; but newspaper
ethics generally needs all the elevation
thatMr Sheldons example might sug-
gest. But whether the suggestion is
to succeed depends no more on his
good intentions than it does on his ed
ltorial genius, for experience we sup
pose ne has none. Can he avoid cant,
platltude, piosity? Has he the knack
Of appreciation and rebuke? Does he
hate as we'll as love? Can he say
"Hypocrites" as well as Brethren"
Has he the saving gift of humor? We
trust that Mr.. Sheldon will do as Je-
sus did, or, rather, as Jesus would do
in our day. But that is hard task,
not so much because it requires the
loftiest and sternest and sweetest pur-
pose, as because 1t requires infallible
judgment as TO matters not yet settled.
Is the Jesus idea Of trusts the same as
the Kansas idea? What would Jesus
say of some Kansas laws that might
be mentioned? Has Mr.. Sheldon yet
discovered the Jesus view of expans-
ion, or Porto Riean suffrage and tariff,
or of 16 to silver? Probably not; he
will, we trust, discuss these questions,
not as if sitting on the Mount, but as
one who has not yet attained apodictic
certalnty.-The Independent.

Spanish Beggars Are Proud.

The beggar in Spain has more pride
than the self-supporting citizen of an
other country. 1t is related that in
Madrid beggar had from time lmme-
mortal occupied a certain step at the
entrance to certain church where he
held out his hat for aims from arrlv-
ing worshippers. To this church there
came every day a certain well-to-do
gentleman to offer up his prayers, and
this gentleman was accustomed to de-
posit ten-centavo piece in the wait
ing beggars hat as he came up the
stairs But it happened thatthe gen.
tleman fell i'll, and for two weeks was
confined to his bed. AS soon as he was
able to be out again he resumed his at
tendance at daily worship, and as he
passed up he put his coin in the beg
gar's hat and was going on into the
church. The begar seized his coat
tail. Pardon me, senior caballero,"
he said, 'but have you not little ac-
count to settle with me?" ''What?"
asked the gentleman. "An account to
settle with you. What do you mean?"
"Why, yes" said the beggar. "You are
accustomed are you not, to give me
ten centavos as you come in?" well,
have l not given you the coin?" "Ah,
but you give me ten centavos every
day. You have not been here for four
teen days. Therefore you owe me
| 14O centavos." Get OUT" answered
the gentleman. This it aims not a
salary, and owe you no aims when l
am absent" The beggar drew him
self up loftily, and flung bcak the ten
centavo piece to the geneltman.
"Well, then" he exclaimed, ''if you
have no more honor than that, you
can go and get another beggar!
shall have no more to do with you!"--

Searchlight at a Fire.

The electric searchlights introduced
by Chief Croker as one Of the modern
equipments of the Fire Department
got another working test last evening
at a fire which occurred in the Ham
berger Building, "a to 9S Mott street
and proved a great aid to. the men.
The special engine which operates the
searchlights arrived at the fire in re-
sponse to the second alarm which
was sounded. The entire building,
which is a six-story brick structure,
was then enveloped in a dense smoke,
bpt as soon as the powerful lights
were turned upon IT, the firemen had
all the illumination they needed. The
light penetrated the smoke, and the
men on the upper floors moved about
as safely as in daylight.-New York

The Blot on the Map.

The South Dakota divorce colony is
again brought into unpleasant motor
iety in connection with the experience
of one OF the colonists from New York
from which IT appears that the laws of
Dakota are as strict in the collection
of debts as they are lax in the enforce
ment Of marriage obligations.
The existence OF the South Dakota
divorce colony Is blot on the map OF
the United States. IT'S influence is
hardly less pernicious than that OF the
kindred blot OF polygamy in Utah,
which we have found 50 hard TO erase.
It's existence strengthens the demand
that some method of national legisla-
ton shall be tried which may put an
end to the scandal and evil. A nation
al divorce law properly framed and
guarded is not out OF place in system
OF legislation which includes a nation
al bankruptcy law or a national anti
polygamy law.
The sound and reasonable divorce
law OF New York, which is rendered
ineffective by the lack OF cooperation
in the laws of other States, is suiii-
cient answer to nearly all II not to all
the objections against national law
OF the same kind.-New York World.

Ohio Divorces.

Justice Marean in the Supreme
Court reserved decision on an appli-
cation for alimony and counsel fee by
Gertrude S. Higgins in the action
brought against her by Thomas c..
Higgins, a real estate broker. with of
fees in Montague street, fer an an
nulment Of their marriage. The
plaintiff, who is 60 years old, while his
wife is only 33, declares that the mar
riage was not legal in this state, as
Mrs Hlgginss divorce from her form
er husband, Frederick w. Sharp, was
obtained in Ohio, and Sharp had not
put in defense.
Mr.. Higgins also asks to have set
aside deed transferring certain land
to her in January 1898. He also
wishes a note for 5000 which he gave
to her about a year ago, cancelled.
Colonel Albert e. Lamb, who ap-
peared for Mrs. Higgins, said that the
marriaeg took place in June, 1894
soon after the Ohio divorce was OBJ
tanned. The couple lived together un-
til January, 1900. At that time Mr.
Higgins left his wife, and the papers in
the suit for annulment wereserved or
the same day. The pity of it all was
Colonel Lamb, that if the Ohio divorce
was illegal then two women would be
miserable, as Sharp as well as Mrs
Higgins had married. both relying on
the validity Of the decree.
JusticeMarean said that if he hat
the power he would grant a counse
fee of $500 and $40 a week allmony
but that under the circumstances he
would reserve decision.--New Yorl

Calm Succeeds Storm in Ken.
tucky.

There is every indication that calm
is to succeed violence in Kentucky.
II is certainly consummation de-
voutly to be wished. The State has
been quite sufficiently passion torn. 1t
is time for peace. The questions at is
sue are legal questions. 1t is import
ant for present good and future well
fare thatthey be determined in regu-
lar conformity to law. That is the ul-
innate attainment all should wish.
In order that it be accomplished, II is
imperative in the present high state of
feeling that cool leadership evolve
conservatism and that a spirit OF con-
cession be engendered in the camp of
both contestants.
There has been enough of tragedy
over this, in itself quite unimportant,
matter of a Governorship. There has
been enough of farce. What is need
ed now is coolness, calmness and COM
mon sense. 1t is just as important
now as it was a week ago that the
right prevail. 1t is just as ESSENTIAL
that law be enforced and law be obey
ed. The events of last week, however
deplorable, have no bearing on the le-
gal aspects of the case. The equity of
the position of neither side is affected
by any occurrence of the past seven
days. The contest should be taken up
and proceeded with in the same i'm
passioned manner that it should have
been prosecuted from the start. The
contention should now be, as it should
always have been. conducted in strict
conformity to law and with absolute
regard for justice. II that had been
done there would have been no trouble
II 1t be done now, all cause for and
possibility Of further trouble is re-
moved.
1t is. therefore, gratifying to disturb
ed public consciousness that there is
evidenced on the part of both con-
testants and contestees a disposition
10 treat upon common ground Of equit-
able legal standing and eschew all
spirit OF passion and political trickery.
This may be wrong impression OF
the trend OF matters at Frankfort It
Is based on the Democratic proLesta-
lions OF peace hoped for and the Re
publican respect for order. 1t Is what
ought to be brought about, and
brought about quickly.-Commercial

Vests Stolen Pigs.

A story that Senator Vest tells re-
lates to his candidacy for the Legisla-
ture in 1861 against A. S. Walker.
The canvass was exceedingly exciting
because of the near approach of the
war, and all the questions incident to
it were discussed with much anima-
tlon. Charges and countercharges
were made. Both sides knew that
about six votes either way would de-
termine the contestant on the day be-
fore election Walker raised the point
on Vest that he had stolen some pigs.
The only way that Vest could meet
the charge was to acknowledge smil-
ingly that he had the pigs in his pen
and in his possession. If he had gone
further and said that he had bought
them-which they had hoped he would
do-they had witnesses to show that
he had not bought them, but Vest was
too shrewd to be caught in the trap,
and turned the accusation off with a
laugh and the remark:
cone cant account for the way his
boys get pigs. st. Louis Republic.

Pompeii in Paris.

An intensely interesting feature OF
the coming Paris exposition will be
Pompeii, revived just as it supposedly
existed 1000 year ago Chariots are to
roll through the streets, buyers of
wares are to stand gossiping at the
different booths, mysteries are to be
celebrated in the Temple of Isis, har-
angues will be delivered to toga-clad
groups in the public squares and in
the arena gladitorial combats will be
held All of which is admirable as an
idea, but will, everything said, be
picturesquely practical? To put back
again the missing halves of those
beautious marble villas, to Tecreate
the atmosphere that Cicero and Pliny
so loved, to revivify, almost to rein
carnate this loveliest of classic seaside
towns with the aid of Mommsen and
other archaeolcgists, would not be a
task by any means prodlglous. But
surely disillusion would lurk in the
crowd that surrounded one. Today
and yesterday would be forever clash
ing. Mademoiselle de la Sause-Mayon-
naise of the Felies Bergeros would get
inartistically close to Phryne. Ones
very self. for that matter, would seem
wandering anaGhronism as one
moved from chamber to chamber,
from court to court. The real Pom
peli makes you feel that way, it is
true, but with a difference. There you
have the appeal and melancholy of
contrast. with none Of its raw discords.

Business in Manila.

The greater business OF the Philip
pines Is largely paralyzed. The lesser
business, thatwhlch appeals to the SUI
pericial observer is in state Of in
activity probably greater than 1t has
ever known before. But this retail
business needs some definition. Man
liza is said to have a population of S00-
600 within what Is to be regarded as
the city, though Manila proper is but
the old walled town on the south bank
of the Pasig. The Escolta is the
street Of the better class of trade for
the whole city. 1t extends for three
blocks, from the Plaza del p. Morage
to the bridge across the canal which
divides Blnondo from sta. Cruz. In
point OF number, size and appearance
Of the stores, there is hardly a city
of $4,000 people IN America that would
not fmmeasurably excel the Manila
outfit. The little American city would
show no jumble of lines within so
short a distance What cannot be
bought on the EscoIta, excepting pro-
visions, is hardly to be found in the
city. Harness and hardware, dry
goods and diamonds, beer, ,whiskey and
cigars, stationery, clothing, drugs
books, notions and wares from India
China and Japan, all find representa-
ton among many other things along
this short line, which represents the
aristocratic retail trade Of city ol
more than quarter of million oI
people.
The retail stores for the masses Gov
er a much longer line. They fill tht
Gale Rosario, Gale San Fernando
and the Gale Santo Cristo with more
or less extensive outcroppings ii
scores Of other places. These are tht
stores which are of special interest VI
the observer, whether his motive bt
idle curiosity, entertainment or inves
tigation. The Ecolta is for thu
wealthy native and foreigner. Th'
other localities are for the people
Rosario and Canto Cristo are pre-
eminently the streets Of the Chimes
merchants. San Fernando has man!
Chinese, but 1t also presents numerou
native proprietors.
The first thing that one notices j
that these stores are but little boxes
which would hardly make an Office TO
an American. The next thing notices
is the number OF attendants, and tn
third is the manifest duplication o
stocks and their arrangement. Th
native stores on Gale San Fernand'
are rather booths for the sale of spec
ialties. They are little stalls, per
haps six feet by ten, presided over b,

One of the degree factories for
which Chicago is notorious was re-
Gently investigated by a reporter of
the Times-Herald of that city. The
campus buildings, endowment, Ii
brary and laboratories consist of half
desk in a downtown office, and a
whole desk, with typewriter, in the
presidents bed chamber uptown.
From these desks he conferred, ac-
cording to his own statement, 80 de-
grees last year. He might have con-
ferred more, but he is very particular
about giving degrees only to men who
will be credit to the institution, as
well as being adorned personally by
our degree" His terms are quite rea-
sonable-being $40 for bachelors de-
gree and SIS for masters or Phi. D.
wit han additional $5 when the can
didate is able to prove through quail
ification without taking our course of
study" Candidates are sought among
school teachers and clergymen. I'VE

selves, by letter to the postmaster or
someone else, that the man has no de-
gree, and that he is of good reputation.
