INCREASE OF ENGLISH TONGUE.
saturday Evening Post.)

1t is against ali reason to expect these
strange people to adapt themselves at
once to American methods. and it Is
certainly problematical IL the Ameri-
cans will try to become acclimated in
their habits. Our people consider them
selves the finest products OF human civ
iliaation. and when we take charge of
q new population 1t Is not to learn It's
language or to adopt its habits, but to
gradually make 1t recognize our own
merits and try as much as possible to
become like our own selves OF course.
all this means an enormous Increase in
the spread OF the English language, and
If any one wants to measure the cen
tury there is no better way than to
take the fact that whereas one hundred
years ago the Spanish language out
numbered the English more than six
millions. to-day the English surpasses
the Spanish by nearly three to one.

One WAY Out.

Following the example of the Illinois
Central Railroad the Great Northern
has arranged a plan whereby its en-
ployes are to become stockholders. A
new issue of stock is soon to be made
to the amount of s75OO,OOO. Employees
up to a certain limit, depending upon
the salaries they receive, and payments
will be received on easy terms. Of
course some of the railroads as we'll as
some of the other corporate concerns
of the country can not advise their en-
ployes to take stock in the company
for some are not earning any money
for their stockholders. But in the case
of such institutions as are On a stable
basis, and which have stock which is
earning dividend, it seems hardly
possible that any better scheme could
be devised than to interest the EN-
ployes until they become stockholders.
1t is measure profitable for the
employe, for it teaches him the two
lessons of economy and thrift, while
for the company it makes a more eff
cient workman. One who is a part of
the concern will feel a more direct in
terest in its prosperity than one who
has nothing at stake. Fer the employe
to be a stockholder means that fur
ther share of the earnings of the con-
Germ will go to him than merely the
sum he receives as wages. In the
proportion as employees are stoc1hold-
ers they may have voice in the man
agement Should they at any time care
to leave the employ of the corporation
the stock is available for sale,o it may
be kept for the dividends 1t will still
earn. If more of the employees could
be made stockholders in the great cor
porations of the country one help for
the labor problem would be found

Moody Memorial Endowment

Il have been ambitious not to lay up
wealth, but to leave work for you to
do" were almost the last words of D.
L. Moody to his children.
AT a meeting of Mr.. Moody's friends
held in Northfeld on the evening of
his funeral it was resolved that a
statement regarding the institutions
founded by him be given to the public
These institutions are unique in
character and offer an unequaled op-
portunity for young men and women
of limited means to secure an educa-
tion that will thoroughly equip them
for Christian life and service.
They consist of the Northfield Sem
mary and Training School fer Young
Women, Mount Hermon School for
Young Men and the Bible Institute
Chicago. All are incorporated.
The Mortified plant consists Of
about 1900 acres of land and about 30
buildings, beautifully situated and ex-
cellently equipped With present en-
dowment it is valued at one and
quarter millions, and is practically
free from debt. AT Chicago, the build
ings, land and endowment exceed
$25O,0O0 in value.
The Northfeld schools have about
400 students each, who are charged
S100 per annum for board and tuition.
The actual cost ia about 5000. At
Chicago the amount required approx
mates $3.50 each for 300 students.
In brief, therefore, sum of about
$125,OOO is annually required to main
tain the work inaugurated by Mr..
Moody on the principles successfully
pursued for the PAST twenty years.
This sum has heretofore been large
ly raised by his personal efforts. An
effort is being made to raise the pres
ent limited endowment 10 $4,000, 900,
the interest on which, at per cent,
would guarantee the perpstuation of
his work in all its present prosperity.

Three Days Across Old Ocean.

A Brooklyn inventor thinks he has
a discovery in the shape of a corkscrew
boat that will cross the ocean in three
days. Some New York capitalists have
agreed to furnish the money necessary
to build a sample, so TO speak, and, if
1t succeeds measurably we'll, a large
mail boat will be built.
The inventor says that uhis craft will
cross the Atlantic in less than three
days. The construction of the vessel
is being arranged for at the Newport
News Shipyards 1t is cylindrical
with a serpentine fange, like a cork
screw, extending from bow to stern.
The outer shell revolves through the
water while the inner compartment
maintains its equipoise.

The Increasing Price Of Meat.

The rise in the wholesale price of
meat has been gradual and due entire
ly to causes over which the packer
himself had no control. 1t has been the
commercial result of the gradual rise
in the price of livestock; and this en-
hancing value of the herd has been
brought about by the general shortage
of live stock for slaughter purposes
and the increased cost of producing
hand (stall fed) beef, because of the
shortage of feed and the increased cost
OF getting 1t. If the past prices of meat
were right, the present prices are also
since they are calculated on the same
basis. A comparison of the market
for beef cattle on the hoof in Chicago
and Kansas City for August 10, 1897
1898 and 1899, shows that the following
top and average prices were paid by
the packers at the stock yards in open
competition for handled and choice
Western beef cattle: August 10, 1897,
NdAlltt lANG 'MGi6hlb pt.OOs eiNNl
age, $4.15, making the prime dead meat
cost $3.50, or nearly Sc per pound to
produce. The butcher paid less for it.
August 10, 1898, prime stock fetched
$5.25; average good heifers brought
$3.50. This made prime dressed beef
cost $3.50, or S1Sc per pound landed.
August 10, 1S99 prime beef cattle sold
for $3.50 average good S5.25, making
the carcass of prime cost, landed,
$9.25, CT 91ac per pound.
The price of cattle has been creeping
up for two years in proportion to the
shortage of stock and the expensive
food and weather conditions for pro-
ducing marketable beef. We have
warned the retail trade of these ad-
vancing conditions, and from time to
time advised them to meet the inevit-
able by putting up their shop prices.
That they fingered at the old price for
two years, and are new forced to meet
the state of trade in one jump is as un-
fortunate as it was unnecessary, but
the wholesalers are not to blame, mas
much as the stockgrower draws first
blood from the slaughterer, and for
spot cash at that. If any one questions
this statement let him bid at the stock
yards with millions back of him and
ask for credit.-Globe Democrat.

Privileges Granted Married
Men in the Navy.

Naval officers on the Aslatlc Station
are greatly disturbed by an order Of
Admiral Watson which grants priv
ileges to the officers OF the first feet
who have their wives on the station
A letter from an officer attached TO the
squadron contains this statement:
These happy men can go ashore two
nights week and be excused from
quarters by the permission of the
Captain of the ship. The rest of the
ships roster scared and gray haired
though they may be, must ask in writ
ing for permission and the regular red
tape rigmarole is necessltated. This
distinction in favor of the wlves-on-
shore officers and officers not so favor!
ed seems hardly just, especially on a
station where the life aboard ship Is
irritatingly monotonous and weari-
some, and where regulations regarding
shore leave are still on the war basis
save for these favored benedicts.
when one realizes that none of the
ships company, officers and men alike,
are allowed to go ashore after sunset
without special permission granted af-
ter formal application in writing, it
may be seen that duty en- one of the
ships anchored in Manila Bay is far
from a picnic for the officers who are
serving Uncle Sam by pressing pitch
on that ship. In a tropical country,
as all know the only time to go ashore
Is after sunset, not before, and with
the regimental bands playing on the
Luneta every evening and the pretty
pebticoat parade at that time, there is
much in Manila to break up the odious
monobony of the life of the ship were
the officers who were off duty allowed
to enjoy it.
From this recent order of Rear Ad-
miral Watson it is suspected that he,
unlike General Otis, feels that the
presence of women on the scene would
be an advantage and that ne has just
issued this order to induce recreant
wives to join their liege lords. 1t is
therefore suggested that the stay-at-
home wives at once close their homes,
place the children in school and hasten
away to the Philippines to emancipate
their husbands from the privileged and
handicapped class of wifeless officers"

Walnut Disappearing.

Indiana's walnut timber will soon be
a product of the past In fact, the en-
tire country has been denuded of its
walnut timber. The export trade has
fallen off more than one-half. Substl-
tutes for walnut are being used. Thus,
one one of the greatest sources of the
country's wealth disappears under the
AK. There are worm fences of walnut
rails in this country and elsewhere in
the state that have stood the ravages
of many decades. They were built
when the future value of walnut was
unknown, and walnut proved just the
timber for the purpose. Thousands of
dollars were put into fences and the
worth of the wood was not considered
until too late.-Weekly Farm

Novel Assault Case.

A novel assault case came up in the
Washington Police Court today The
small boys who live near Eleventh and
Il. streets are in the habit of "initiat-
ing all new boys in the neighborhood,
in order to make them members of the
crowd in good and regular standing.
Recently shy boy named Edward Me
Farland moved into 1910 Eleventh
street with his parents. The boys look
ed him over and decided that he was
eligible for admission into their circle
after being Initiated, or "cobbed," as
they call it,
They asked Edward if lie wanted to
join "the gang" and when he said he
did they took him into shed and in
itiated him. They took off his clothes
and painted him yellow,and then turn
ed him loose on the street. This was
on Christmas day and Edward was a
fearsome spectacle as he fed madly up
the street in his yellow garb, frighten-
ing many a holiday convivlallst into
taking the pledge,
Mrs. Mcfarland rescued the boy and
returned him to his normal color with
some difIiculty,yellow paint being hard
to remove from the person when it had
been dried in by high wind. She dis
approved of the initiation and today
Fred Spicer, Buck Purcell, John Gray
and VIM. Purcell were arraigned for
assault and remanded for a hearing

Woman Poll Taxed.

| Miss L. e. Hopper, a young lady
stenographer of Oakland, Cal, is cne
of those young business women who
think that people CT her class should
use their Christian names without go
ing tC the trouble Of placing the word
Miss" before them. Now she has
changed her mind and the following
story from the San Francisco Chron-
icle tells the reason why:
Miss Hopper is employed as a stem
ographer in City Attorney Dow's Of
fee and two years ago when she Sc
cured that position she took especial
pains to see that her name was entered
on the city pay roll, ~. e. Hopper"
Now she wishes that she had net done
so The poll tax collector in checking
over the city pay roll, to ascertain the
names of the city employees who failed
to pay, found the check mark after the
name L. e. Hopper, and when Miss
Hopper went to draw her salary yes
terday she found that she could not get
it unless she contributed SO to the poll
tax man.
Il would be pleased to pay poll tax,
said she to the city treasurer, "if you
would allow me to vote, but until then
must decline. think it is more on
the poll tax man than me, for he will
be compelled to release the attachment
when he finds l am only a woman, and
then ne may have to pay the costs,
too"

The Poses Successor,

Pope Leo, 1t is said, clearly deslgnat-
ed Cardinal Girolamo Maria Goytl, per-
feet Of the Congregation Of Indulgence
and Sacred Relics, as his successor
Cardinal Gotti, the famous Genoese
monk, is man OF great plety and
modesty.
Cardinal Gotti has often been spok-
en- OF as the probable successor Of Leo.
He is a monk of the barefoot Carmel
lite order.
He displayed diplomatic qualities of
the highest order in a mission to Brazil
confded TO him by Leo Kill In that
country, in addition to the conflict GO
ing on between the civil and religious
authorities, the church was in consld-
cradle danger on account of the lack
of discipline. To the great astonish-
ment of every one, the Pope selected
the superior of the barefoot CARMEL
ties, who happened to be Father Gotti,
to put an end to the disorder and re-
NS'ubtiSh holulOhg bClWOCl lllt tlNll
and religious powers.
Father Gotti in two or three years
triumphed over the difficulties, and his
success was so complete that on his re-
turn Pope Leo decreed him a Cardin-
ais hat. He has already small court
formed of those who believe his sue
cess probable, who honor him as if he
were already elected. But he does not
take much notice of these fiatterers.
Greatness appears TO have no tempta-
tion for him, fer although clothed in
purple he occupies a modest room
practically cell-at the Forum of
Traian, and sleeps on monks bed.
He is only GA years of age. His po-
lltieal tendencies ar unknown, and
should he be called upon to succeed the
present Pontiff he may be either con-
cillabory Pope or fighting Pope, ac-
cordin gto his inclination and TO the
character of the majority which may
place .him in ST. Peters chair. 1t is
said that Leo NIII has often jestlngly
spoken OF him as my successor"
