The project for building a new fa-
cade to the cathedral of Milan, which
has been at the point OF execution for
fourteen years, is receiving so much
opposition that it is not impossible
that 1t may be abandoned. The old
facade struck n discordant note, but
many OF Its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost OF the construction Of the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan II the construction was net
begun within certain time, it Is
probable that ths hilsnsse public will
not regard the loss OF a new facade a
serious matter.

The Kansas Supreme court in the
case OF the Atchlson, Topeka and
Santa Fs Railway Company agains,
/. p. Campbell has handed down a de-
cision holding the act OF the legisla-
ture requiring railroads to N.fnish free
transportation to shippers OF live
stock to be unconstitutional. The
court was unanimous aAd its decision
reverses both the Appellate court and
the Sedgwick county district court.
The court says: This is a depriya-
ton OF property without due process of
law and denial of the equal protection
of the laws, and is, therefore, uncon-
stitutional and void under the four
teenth amendment to the constitu-
ton" The railroads have furnished
shippers OF one car load free transpor-
tation to market, the shippers paying
their fare home. For two car loads or
more the shipper is carried free both
ways. This is the rule which has been
observed for years and is now in force.
The populist legislature OF 1897 passed
the law declared unconstitutional. ~
provided that shippers of one car loaa
should be carried free both ways.

Senator Depew estimates that fully
one-half of all charitable efforts are
productive of more harm than good.
They increase pauperism, and encour-
age paupers to remain paupers. The
worst form that charity can take is
when it pauperizes the recipient" The
estimate of one-half OF all charity
being evil may seem startling; posi-
bly, it is exaggerated. If true 1t is still
no argument against continuance of
charitable effort. No less benevolence,
but more discretion in manifesting 1t,

encourages self-help is always good.

At what price can milk be SOLO
wholesale and still return a proht!
This is a question that we would IKE
to have some of our readers answer.
An eastern paper has been asking
somewhat similar question of many OF
its readers, and the reports agree IN
saying that when milk is sold at anu
R1a cents per quart it is losing
transaction. If this is so then the
farmers that supply much Of the sum
mer milk to New York must certainly
lose heavily, for the summer prices
have in some instances dropped down
to 81 cents per 100 pounds or about
one cent per quart. Even at 81 per
hundred pounds there is little if any
profit in the transaction, when all
things are considered. Conditions IN
the west differ somewhat from those
in the east and we would like to hear
the opinions of western shippers OF
milk.

Small Parks In Chicago,

Chicago, Jan. "A plan by which
small park systems may be established
in Chicago has been proposed by Presi-

Park board. He advocates that a num-
Der Of the shorter streets In the dense

fic, covered with stand, fitted with
wings and other park apparatus and
turned over to the public as play
grounds.
As Mr.. Suddard Is the West Park
boards representative on the special
committee on small parks recently APP
pointed by the city council, this plan
will be presented TO the latter body fol-
consideration. He also will contend
that steps toward establishing of a
great outlying park system should be
taken at once by the city on lines now
governing the extensive park tracts on
the outskirts Of Boston, Brooklyn, and
other cities.

San Francisco, Jan. S--The story Of
the loss OF the British steamer Hupeh,
on her voyage from this city to Hong

city, and the details show that the loss
Of the vessel was accompanied by a
far greater loss OF life than the cabled
reports told Of.
The vessel sprung leak after leaving
Java with cargo OF sugar for
Hongkong. The Chinese crew refused
to work on the ships boats, with one
exception, were destroyed during a
storm, and the crew built a number OF
RATS, launching them and setting them
afloat, leaving the captain and one pas
senger on board the sinking vessel. The
Europeans occupied one raft and the
Chinese were divided on six or seven
others.
The RATS were soon surrounded by
hundreds Of ravenous sharks, and in
their eagerness to get at the ship
wrecked sailors jumped far out Of the
water. Soon several OF the Chinese
RATS were overturned, and II was then
that the Europeans decided TO return to
their vessel, The only remaining boat
was repaired and launched, the captain

The island Of Luband, I'm the Philip
pine group, was finally made, and on
the natives learning that the mariners

Portable, and later sent them to Manila.
Nothing was ever heard of the Chinese
crew, numbering forty-five men, and
they must have been drowned and de-
voured by the pursuing sharks.

APPALLING BATTLE SCENE,
How The Highland Brigade Was Swept Back
by the Boer Fire.
Cut Down by the First voIIey-Sur-
vivors Broke and Ran-Rally
Was Ineffective.

New York, Jan "a dispatch to the
World from London says;
The most appalling battle picture
from British point Of view yet
painted by correspondent In the field
comes by mail from ]. B. Whlgham
with Lord Methuen's column. 1t shows
the collapse OF the Highland brigade
at Magersfontein.
Describing the effect Of the unex-
pected Boer fire when the brigade was
just about deploying from quarter col
umn, Mr.. Whigham writes;
Some one shouted retire and the
day was lost The Highlanders broke
and ran-there Is no other word for
H.
"In a few minutes the brigade had
been decimated and the issue decided.
"'rhey did not run far. only a few
hundred yards, but when they rallied
they were shaken and confused for
hours. They lay fiat on the ground
between the British guns and the Boer
trenches.
AT about 2 o'clock the Boer rifle fire
greatly increased, simultaneously the
brigade was seen In full retreat. Back
they came in a wave. No officer could
stop IT, 1t was perhaps the most UNI
pleasant sight the British soldier has
ever beheld; certainly sight never to
be forgotten.
1T is difficult to say what happened
next, until Major Ewart rode up with
an order from Gen. Methuen, which
was almost an entreaty TO the effect
that all he asked Of the brigade was
to hold the position until dark. So rid
died and shattered was the brigade that
Ewart had actually no other officer 10
help him give the order 20 the scattered
men. II was no small thing'to ask OF
the Highlanders that they should again
face the calling fire for five mortal
hours.
still very fair rally was effected
The pipers played somewhat dolefully
and the brigade at last got back to a
spot where 1t had certain amount
Of cover
There the men lay until Boer guns,
tin then absolutely silent, suddenly
came into play. IL wanted but this
last straw TO break the nerve OF the
rallylng Highlanders. When the first
shrapnel burst, what remained OF the
brigade with one accord came right
back as far as the field hospital, hope
iessly beaten for the day. They were
not III even to guard the baggage. They
had lost 81 officers killed or wounded.
