From all over the world come reports OF

to prostration as Ell Paso. The Boston
Transcript says that the one solace OF the
fearful heat we have been undergoing Is
the e.ectric fans and gas and oil stoves, only
the Transcript has queer ways OF paying
compliments. It saws:
The worst OF all these appliances that
bring on an artificial GOODNESS is that one

The New York Evening Post thinks that

SUNDAY GAMES AT PARIS.

It is a pleasure TO turn from the great
and growing role that America is playing
in the councils of the military world as
military. naval and commercial power to
the frequent victories in the field of olym-
pic games that our athletes have won in
Paris. Judging from all accounts, nothing
hut rirtuous resolve not to profane the
Sabbath day was the only thing that kept
America from winning far more events
than she has. 1t has long been known
that strangers arriving in Rome presuma-
bly, follow the same customs that obtain
among the Romans, and it might have
been expected that Americans, knowing
the French propensity for making Sunday
more of a holiday than anything else.
would foresee that they would be required
to play in games held Sunday afternoon.
However. the Americans did not foresee it,
and refused to play. Like the second son

versity of Pennsylvania. afterwards re
pented and went" and on arriving found
himself to be easily the best man in the
game. The other colleges. notably, Prince
ton. felt themselves much aggrieved by this
action, for it was understood that all were
10 play or none. We cannot doubt that
large part of the national strength of
England and America is due to the fact
that there is behind both nations strong
religious spirit. By this we 90 not mean
any weak or womanish sentimentality, but
belief that Righteousness is essential. and
that it consists largely in adhering to prin-
ciple through thick and thin, and not
changing ones views of right and wrong
with a change of climate or sky. The ma
and have held 10 them are the ones that
have endured. And the men who refused
to compete in Sunday games on principle
have done something in itself more praise
worthy than winning any medal that could
be offered at Paris or elsewhere.
However, the victories Of one Sunday,
more or less. cannot dim the CORY OF the
Americans record at these games. though.
for our own part, we believe that the
games held between the colleges Of Amer
lea and England, on college grounds. come
nearer showing the real worth OF American
athletes and produce more real stars
than the so-called Olympic games at Paris.

COUNT MURAvEiF9 AND HIS sue

SIHD'os
We have had occasion before to point
out the continuity Of the Russian foreign
policy. Hi Russia the mills of the gods
grind slowly, but they grind out an
absolutely certain result, and take no
count Of the men who are pulveriZed to
furnish the end that the little Father Of
all the Russias wishes. The life of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Russia is
no bed of roses, and even the cold and
Unconditional Count Murayeif was killed
as surely by the cares Of his office as If
he had incautiously ventured into some
Nihilist clubhouse and been blown up by
a dynamite bomb. The doctor had told
Murayeiff that he must take q rest and
stop working twenty hours a day. Napo-
leon Bonaparte was one Of the few men
who was able to stand extraordinary
mental eXertions on only four or live
hours sleep, and Count Muraveiff's at
tempt to do the same proved too much
go away and take a rest wherI the
Chinese situation developed with the fear
full rapidly that we have seen in the late
few weeks. and the amount of extra
work that was thrown upon the foreign
office made it imperative for him to con-
time there.
The Count had the prerequisites of a
diplomat; he was perfectly conversant
with all the past history of the service
in which he worked. He knew all the
small details OF the diplomatic history of
Europe and the ends which Russia was
irving to carry out. No question ever
came up that he was not able to answer
if it concerned his department, and for
this reason he was in high favor with the
Emperors, who were not able themselves
TO keep thoroughly up with all the de-
tails. Count Muraveiff also had the
faculty. of saving the right thing to the
right mali In 1922 when at Copenhagen,
the Emperor Nicholas said in discussing
the German Emperor's intention to begin
the century in 1900, when do you think
the century will begin-in 1900 or 1901
To which his foreign ministers replied,
in whatever year your Majesty sees fit,
fer the Emperor of Russia will always
have the pas or the German emperor.
Like Napoleon the First, Muraveff' S
face was perfectly INEXPENSIVE, and con-
veyed no idea to an observer as to what
was going on in his mind.
1t is thought generally that Count
Muraveift will be succeeded by Count
Lamsdorff. who is better posted on the
Asiatic question than any other Of the
Russian diplonatists, and at present this
is the one that most nearly concerns the
Russian foreign office.

SOUTHERN NOTES.

Demopolis, Ala, is to have a large
cement factory. Three or four manufac-
turers have visited this place for the pur-
pose of looking into a location, and on last
Thursday, says the Montgomery Adver-
ti5er, a. deal was made whereby New
York man purchased the plantation of A.
G. Barnes, lying about half a mile from
town. The location is excellent for the
plant, since it is on the Southern Railway
and also the Warrior River, and has an I'M
limited amount of rock. The buildings will
be entirely Of steel and brick and the plant
will cost $4,000.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the gen.
e-al committee Of the Universal Inter-
oceanic Canal Exposition was held last
night at the Progressive Union rooms. says
the New Orleans Picayune. The attend
ance was large and the feeling of conf
dence and enthusiasm which pervaded the
meeting was apparent at every step which
was taken. Each idea advanced met with
instant and interesting discussion from the
standpoint of business men engaged in a
great enterprise to which they had fully
determined to give their best energies.
