FORESTRY COMMISSION.

1t is highly probable that the ere
alton by congress of a forestry COM
mission to inquire into the practic-
ability of setting apart certain pOr-
ton of the northwestern Indian reser-
vations as national park will result
at least in some more stringent legis-
lation for the preservation of the pine
lands in the proposed territory. The
necessity of this was urhesitatingly
acknowledged by the party OF con-
gressmen who visited the proposed ma
tional park last October. With equal
readiness the congressman recognized
the desirability of establishing such Il
reserve for the people of the north
west. The only question remaining in
their minds was that which it is pro-
posed that the commission shall de-
cide-its practicability.

CURRENT TOPICS
SMART SET AT CAPE TOWN.


Even war, it seems, has come to be
regarded by the English smart set"
as a pleasant stimulus to jaded nerves
and a social relaxation after a dull
season. The speeches of Sir Alfred
Miner and of Surgeon Treves as to
the doings of the smart set' at Cape
Town show a natural and perhaps not
unwholesome irritation with this spe-
cies of English visitors. Surgeon
TreveS does not mince matters, but
feelingly refers to 1.-The plague of wo-
men," By this strong and uncompli-
mentary term the surgeon explains
that he has no intention to reflect dis
credit upon the noble women nurses
and attendants, but upon woman
idlers, the majority of them society
or smart people, who, yearning for
new eXcitements, had come to South
Africa to make a holiday" These peo-
pie, the blunt doctor says, filled the
hotels, so that a sick or wounded Of
ffcer could not get accommodations;
they made dinner parties and junket-
ings, invaded the hospitals and inter-
fered with the work of the medical
staff, and in one case a surgeon was
unable to see any of his patients COW
ing to the horde of busybOdy women
who had made his hospital the show
place for the day

lively declaring that Mrs. Sidonia Hal
version, whose death was announced
Sunday. is not dead, but is in trance,
and that restoration is yet possible,
though not to the point Of permanent
recovery. Preparations had been made
for the funeral, which was announced
to be held at II o'clock on Sunday
next. DR.. Colburn. who had the case
in charge, has applied all known tests
and he refuses to sign certificate of
death. The members of the family are
wrought up to high pitch, but, re-
CARELESS of the doctors statement, they
say the funeral will take place on the
date fixed, as the health commissioner
will sign the death certificate.

Might Follow Concessions.
Ireland is never to have home rule,
and England must prepare for defense
against a combined attack by all the
great powers. according TO a public
statement by Lord Salisbury, the Brit
ish premier, at the annual grand habi-
tation of the Primrose league in Lon
don. The premier drew a lesson in
regard to the government of Ireland
from the present conflict in South At
RIGA, insisting that the accumulation
of arms in time of peace must never
again be permitted. He advised the
formation of rifle clubs, to be in readi-
ness for any attack, either internal or
from the outside
The premier in replying to the diff
cult and intricate Irish problem, said:
Mr.. Gladstone. in an evil moment
for the fame of the country and for his
party. attached himself to the idea of
the separation of England and Ireland.

JEFFERlES STILL CHAMPION.
Big Boiler Maker Defeats Former Ring
ChampiOn in TWenfY-Three Ennnds

Champion in Twenty-Three Rounds.
James Jeffries is still champion of
the American ring. He defeated James
j. COrbett Friday evening in the TWEEN
ty-third round Of an exceedingly
pretty fight. even il there are sus-
piciOnS that he might have finished the
eX-champiOn much earlier in the game
The betting public was not heavily in
terested in the fight. so that the
on the result is not large But con-
siderable money was lost on the bet
that COrbett would not stay ten
rounds. So far as fine sparring, clever
sidesteppng and generalship was con-
cerned, COrbett proven himself to be
still master of those arts and without
a rival in his class. But his blows
often lacked steam, and the handicap
of being nine years older than the
champion told on him heavily. jeff
ries was punished, but it was the kind
of punishment that would only enrage
him and bring him back to the center
of the ring more determined to fight
than ever. AS for COrbett, the pitcher
has gone to the well once too often.
He is out of the running forever so
far as championships are concerned.
The fight was witnessed by a crowd
that filled the Seaside Athletic club
rooms at Coney Island, New York,

outside points were conspicuous by
their absence. Winners share, $25,-

FAST TRAINS.

1t is reported that during the ex-
pertinent with the cigar-shaped train
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
a run of eighteen miles was made in
sixteen minutes. This was a very sat-
isfactory showing for first trial, be-
ing at the rate of siXty-seven and q
half miles an hour, but a greater speed
is expected by the inventor, and it will
have to be attained in order to estab-
lish a record over the old style of con-
structiOn. Tne rate has been exceeded
in this country and it is pretty nearly
equaled for long distances in the regu-
lar runs on certain French railroads. 1t
seems, according to the Pail Mall Ga
Zette, that the French companies have
passed all rivals on the continent and
left their English rivals in the lurch
as well.

MONEY VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

The Maryland Geological Survey for

state 100000 year more to do their
hauling over poor roads than it would
cost if the roads were good. This tai
lies with the report made IN 1895 by
the Department of Agriculture show
ing that the average cost of hauling a
ton load one mile in the United States
was twenty-five cents, whereas the
same load cost only one-third as much
in European countries where there
were good roads.
