A PROMINENT English manufacturer
says that the manufacturing interests
of England need an Andrew Carnegie,
and James Hamilton Lewis says the
Democratic party needsa Mark Hanna.
Carnegie was born British. subject
and has castle in Scotland. He has
profited in a most marvellous degree
from the economic policy of this gov
eminent in protecting home industries,
but he is tout of sorts" with the Re-
publican foreign policy and might per-
haps he induced to renounce his alleg-
ence to Uncle Sam and again become a
subject of her majesty. But if the
Democratic party waits for competent
leadership until Mark Hanna is in.
weighed into its fold, or someone of sim.
liar views aud equally pronounced
characteristics is induced to undertake
the task of putting humpty-dumpty on
the wall again, there is little chance Of
the party's recovering from the state Of
''inocuous desuetude" into which Il
has fallen. 1t is "a condition and not
u theory" that confronts it now and
the condition is bad.

The United States Leads.

In an interview with the London
correspondent of the New York Tri.
bune Mr.. W.. Chalmers, whose firm
has manufacturing plants both in Eng.
land and Chicago, says:
1T is delicate matter for me, with
a board of directors in England and in
the United States, to discuss the rela.
tive ability of the two countries III
matters of commercial activity. Yet
the fact remains that the United States
is carrying off the great bulk of the
trade, not only in South Africa, but IN
the foreign markets of the world. 1t il
true we have a large plant in England
and from 900 to 1000 employees for the
manufacture OF mining machinery,

with comparatively little avowed dis
approval at the action Of the four states
which have now, 10y constitutional

the greater part of the negro voters. If
it were not for the race question and
for the strength Of the traditional pref
udice Of the South against the nam
"Republican," the white vote of the
Soutl .ern states would divide naturally
upon the real issues before the country,
and it is likely that the points of view
that Governor Roosevelt presented III
his remarkable stumping tour of the
West would find even greater accept

A KENTUCKY CONFIDENCE GAME

The looting of several national
banks of late by trusted employees,
whose populations must have extended
over long period, is not well .calcu-
lated to stimulate confidence in the eff
c.ency of the examinations made at
frequent intervals by high-salaried
government examiners who are sup
posed to be expert accountants. The
latest sensation of this kid, following
closely in the wake of the big New
York robbery, is the wrecking of the
German National bank at Newport,
Kentucky, Ey the assistant cashier.
The usual causes of his "dOwnfall,"
viz, "wine, women and gambling"
are alleged and it is admitted that his
moral delinquences have been known
for years. Why, then, was the fellow

"DINIE" AS A POLITICAL ANOMALY

In the opinion of the Review of Re-
views the great anomaly in American
politics is the position held by the
group of Southern states that vote as a
matter of course for Bryan, although
Mckinley better represents their pOiti-
cal opinions. The South for many
years has held u place in American
politics analogous to that which Ire
land holds in the politics of the United
Kingdom. Throughout the greater
part of Ireland there is, for all practical
purposes, only one party-that of the
Irish Nationalist. They feel that Irish
interests compel them to stand to.
gether, and so they do not divide, to
any great extent, into parties OH the
plan OF England and Scotland. Irish
Natlonalism represents n certain spirit
of patriotism and a certain attitude of
self.defense. In somewhat the same
way, the solidity of the so-called Solid
South" in national politics has been
due to a spirit of sectional patriotism
and an attitude Of self-defense. This is
u matter of history and tradition. 1t
has grown out of the war, and out of
the political and racial questions which
led up to the war and which have fol.
lowed it. Since the Republicans of the
North were politically responsible for

THE election of a radical rOyalist and
supporter of ex-Queen Liliuokalani as
the first delegate to congress from the
territory of Hawaii can hardly be re-
garded as evidence that the annexation
of the islands to the United States was
popular among the native Hawaiians.
The spectacle of monarchist, even
from such little insular country as
Hawaii, sitting in the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington, is not one to
which patriotic Americans can very
consistently point with pride.

Trouble with the signals.

One of the chief subjects Of the dis
cussion among the captains and mas
tiers OF vessels Is the difference be-
tween the Canadian and American
marine rules which govern navigators
In Canadian water during foggy
weather. The signal used, according
to the Canadian rules during fog, is
one long blast OF the whistle, to be
blown at short intervals, or the ringing,
of a bell. The American signal is
three short blasts. With this differ
ence in the law captains and masters
find some difficulty during foggy or bad
weather, especially when vessels are
passing one another in the Welland
canal and such places. During the re-
cent foggy weather much difficulty was
experienced in this respect at the en-
trance Of the Welland canal at Port
Dalhousie. Navigators OF both coun-
tries recognize the great disadvantage
they are at with this difference in their
danger signals, and do not hesitate to
say that q uniform code Of signals
should be adopted by both countries
making 1t an international law.-To-

CUPID AND DOLLARS.
Love Laughs at the Expenses, and NOcks
at Money. q

Love Laughs ut the Expenses, and Nocks
at Money. 8
Cupid cannot always be smothered
by dollars, and youth will assert itself
and lads and lasses will sometimes
have a good time even in millionaire
dom. The wedding of young Mr.. Have
meyer, son Of the sugar king, and Miss
Whiting at Newport the other day was
regarded rather as the union Of two
great fortunes than OF two young and
loving hearts. Everything was esti-
mated in dollars. The brides dress
and the gift of the groom to the bride
were duly appraised in dollars and
cents; the cost of the decorations and
OF the wedding breakfast were all es-
timated and there were the usual man
ifestations Of vulgar curiosity, and
this in the face of the fact that one OF
the families was in "half-mourning"
and the wedding was to be quiet one.
The dollar mark assumed the place of
Cupid's bow as the emblem, and as Mr..
Dooley would say, the holy bonds OF
wedlock were government Is. But all
the solemn parade Of vanity did not
suit the young people OF the settle
ment. After the wedding breakfast
the bride and groom were to start
upon bridal trip. Their young friends
took the horses from the carriage and
two milk white ones were substituted.
The carriage was decorated with rib
bons and surmounted by gigantic
shoe which emitted stream Of rice
from hole in the toe like pebbles and
bread crumbs falling from Hop-o'-my
Thumbs pocket when he took to the
woods. The bridal party organized
procession, to escort the happy couple
to the landing. An usher rode on TOP

ELEPHANT TRAGEDY.
Zig Mammal Makes Short Work OF His
Termentors.

Termentors.
Last Sunday afternoon, while a con.
cert was being held at the Crystal Pal
ace, an elephant belonging to a circus
which had been performing there
broke from It's tastenings and killed
Its keeper. It then brushed through
various partitions Of wood and glass,
and appeared In the main building,
where q great number OF persons were
listening to the music. 1t did not at
tempt to hurt any Of the crowd, though
1t broke of with its trunk the upliitsd
arm of statue, probably under the
idea that this represented man about
to strike. After some time II allowed
itself to be secured by another ele-
plant. 1t was then decided to kill the
animal, and after a dose Of poison had
failed, London gunmaker was sent
for as exeCutioner, and shot the animal
dead. On the following Wednesday an
inquest was held on the body Of the
man. The evidence In favor OF the
elephant could not have been more
clearly put, Mr.. Sanger, Its owner,
admitted that the animal had once be-
fore killed q former keeper; and he
gave the facts which led to the death
OF the second The Arst man had been
discharged by Mr.. Sanger fifteen
months previously for gross brutality
to the animals. He came back and
asked to be employed again. This was
granted, and he was taken on, not as
a keeper, but az a laborer. The very
first time he weat into the stable the
elephant, though IL was quite dark at
the time, instantly recognized the mans
voice, and at once crushed him to
death against the stall. The creature

JEWISH DIVORCE
Granted According to the Robblnieat
Law OF the Talmud.


Law OF the Talmud.
A scene in real life recalling In somc
respects the famous enforcement de-
picted by Israel ZangWill In his Chill
dren of the Ghetto" was enacted in
Baltimore when Mrs. Lena G. Wolf
was granted a divorce according to
rabbinical law from her husband,
Maurice Wolf. says the Baltimore
Sun.
The sfial took place at e5s West
Lombard street, the residence of Rev
Dr. s. shaseF. rabbi of the Green street
synagogue. A suit for divorce between
the couple is now pending In the civil
courts OF that city. The old Talmudlc
law, however. requires those persons
who have been married according to
the orthodox Hebrew ritual to be d.
vorced also by the religious law. For
this reason Mrs. Wolf insisted on Sc
curing the religious divorce.
Had Mrs. Wolf neglected to get the
religious divorce she could not be re-
married by an orthodox rabbi, even II
the divorce had been granted In the
civil courts. The judges were assured
that the action in the civil courts
would result In Mrs. Wolf being
granted a divorce. Mr. Wolf was much
Afrected by the proceedings, and, be-
fore the trial was concluded, was 90
overcome that he tainted.
Ten persons are required to be pres.
ent at the trial for religious divorce.
Three of them serve as judges. The
judges at the trial were Rev. DR.. Shat
fer, Rabbi H. BearmRn and Mr.. l..
Strauss. The law requires also that
the writing of the divorcement be in
ancient Hebraic characters. Az Mr..
Wolf was unable to perform the task
skilled Hebrew writer, Mr.. Isaac
Conn.,, wrote the decree. One of the
remaining persons served as a substi-
tute for the husband In delivering the
writing Of enforcement from him to
his wife.
Two OF the witnesses were required
to sign the decree, and the three re-
naming persons served as witnesses.
The Judges did not hear the evidence
In the case in detail. but confined
themselves to accepting the general
statement made by the wife, who said
she had found 1t impossible to live
with her husband. The husband as
Sented to the granting Of the decree.
After considering the case the Judges
decided to grant the divorce. II a civil
decree Is also granted both will be per.
mitted to marry again. The trial
lasted about two hours.
