legislatures. In the speeches delivered
did temporary state exhibits at the
worlds fair which was held in Chicago
in 1893. The idea is good one.
Probably the best suggestion made
was that which was uttered by Gov.
McMillin, of Tennessee, who said:
During my 20 years of service in con-
gress 1 consistently and persistently
advocated the purchase Of all the
ground bordering on the south side OF
Pennsylvania avenue, and the erection
thereon Of federal buildings. The
greatest parade ground in the world
unrivaled by that of any national capi-
tai, is disgraced by the unsightly build
ings which line it's southern side. Con-
gresham Springer in 1884, 16 years
ago, introduced bill containing this
idea, but congress was not wise enough
to adopt the suggestion. To do this,
and it will become an inevitable ne
cessity in time, the government must
now spend many millions of dollars
which would not then have been re-
quired. If we can accomplish this one
thing it will be'enough, without doing
all the good things which are proposed
and urged at this time. The other
good improvements will follow nat
urally." -.... ..-..-
All of this is true. Those who have
visited the capital of our republic, par
ticularly on our great presidential in
auguration days, have been shamed by
the condition of our great thorough
fare. The south side of Pennsylvania
avenue is lined with two-story, OF
three-story, dingy, old, even ancient,
rickety buildings. Within quarter
of mile of the capitol building there
are two blocks occupied by Chinese
laundrymen, saloon keepers and wom-
en- of the town. This brief description
of the great avenue, the broadest, best
paved, best graded in the world, will
suffice to emphatically commend the
words which were thus spoken by the
governor Of sovereign state who for
score of years held prominent place
in the national house of representa-
tives. The avenue should be improved
Referring to the remarks of Senator
Depew concerning Washington and his
noble ambitions, Archbishop Keane
said: ''The idea Of the orient, the
Greek idea, the Roman idea, all were
incomplete. They strove for they

ideal which f>.ed the soul Of Washing
ton, that po. conservation on hi.
sword, and enabled him to lead to vic
tory. His fundamental conviction wa.
that the Christian ideal WAS the true

With such strong men speaking and
working for the national capital cen
tennial, IT'S success may reasonably anf
conservatively be predicted.

NEW YEAR FORTUNE TELLING.
Chinese Avail Themselves of q Pro-
pitiOus Time-QuestiOns
Asked.

At New Years time in Pen and Mott
and Doyer streets. the so-called priests
in the joss houses reap harvest.
There is no more propitious week in
the year than this for fortune telling.
The work of the priest is to throw
the kau pui; to read the signs and in
terpret them to the man who seeks
to know the future.
The ceremony may be seen in the
joss houses any night that week, but if
there are sightseers there it is carried
through perfunctorily- All kinds of
make-believe seem to be accepted and
condoned in Chinatown, if only the
American quarter" Or half dollar"
is to be obtained by it. The serious
matter of fortune telling is taken up
when the last American has taken his
leave.
The priest kneels before the altar
and mutters to the painted gods; in
cense is burning; there is deep silence.
The kneeling man throws two carved
sticks over his shoulder; they look
like bananas cut lengthwise through

sides up, there is a meaning in it,
good or bad; if with the rounded sides
up, an opposite meaning; if with one
round and one fiat side up, it is an
Indifferent sign. Three times the kau
pui are thrown. Then the sign is in
terpreted.
The applicants ask such questions
as these: 'sWill my laundry pay me
as much this year as last? Shall win
in the next lottery? Shall my next
gambling venture be profitable? Is
my son to live? Had better sell out
my present business If the fortune
is told seriously. the advice is usually
followed seriously; the people are
very superstitious, and always at New
Years they seek to know the future

The state capitol commission opened
bids for the construction OF the great
dome for the new capitol.
The lowest figures were presented by
the Butler-Ryan company of St. Paul,
which has the contract of the super
structure of the new building. The
varying specifications were made so as
to permit comparisons Of different con-
d1tlons that the greatest economy
might be practiced. The lowest of the
st. Paul firms bids was $276, 101, which
is $4,000 less than the lowest tender
made by the other two contractors
George J. Grant, St. Paul, and Nor

corner of Cook county that will net the
state about $4,000. It consists of a
large quantity of railroad ties and poles

Will Not Appeal.

The state will not appeal from the
adverse decision Of United States DIS
trict Judge Lochren in the case brought
to invalidate the swamp land grant OF
the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, but
will proceed within the next 80 or 60
days to fill it's grant and close the
whole transaction.
This decision was reached at con-
ference between Gov. Lind and Auditor
Dunn. The matter is one that rests
entirely with them, and their decision
is final.
The matter has been pending several
years. The grant was made in 1878
extended in 1878, and confirmed in
1888, the constitution having been
amended in 1881 to forbid any further
grant of swamp lands to railroads.

families are homeless, though they es-
capped to the highlands. A special from
Llano says the Llano river, a tributary
of the Colorado, is seventeen feet above
normal, and has done much damage in
the valleys. No loss of life has been
reported. Reports from various points
in west and north Texas are to the
effect that all the small streams are

account.

REAsSURING AT WASHINGTON
Explanatory of Our STAND in the Difficulty

Washington, Sept. 25.-There is a

between the United States and Ger
many on the point of delivery Of the
Chinese ringleaders before negotiations,
and it is pointed out that our only rea-
son for differing was a profound con-
viction that deterrent effect could be
produced upon the Chinese people as a
whole only by allowing their govern
ment to degrade and punish the guilty
parties.
The same punishment, if applied by
foreign power, it is said at the state
department, would utterly fail of a re-
formatOry effect, as the Chinese people
would venerate the memory of the mar
tyrs, while the Chinese government,
which arrogates to itself the peculiar
right to reward and punish after death.
might elevate the victims of the allies
acts, and thus offer incentive for rep
etitiOn of the OutrageS.
